hello,
i apologize to all if you’ve seen so many of my posts lately. unfortunately, the baby bearded dragon i got passed away within 4 days. he had pre-existing conditions before i got him that no one was aware of.
i wasnt planning on getting another one but it just happened and it was an instant connection. so now here i am, with a 3 year old male bearded dragon. i got him on friday and have been taking care of him since. my setup is the same, as follows:
uvb: 10.0 22 inch reptisun
basking: 150 watt
tank size: 36x18x18
i tried a 100 watt but the 100 watt gave off little to no heat (only reaching about 95-98) so i switched back to the 150. what im wondering is it normal for my beardie to remain on the cool side? i just brought him home and he really only basks when needed. he eats, runs around, i hold him and his stress marks go away but they grow very very dark when hes in the tank, and his stool is normal. again, i apologize if i seem very paranoid and have been stressing a lot about this. i just want to know what im doing is right.
