Hey all.recently saw behaviour change after replacing basking light.

Prev deets were 43deg basking spot 38 deg warm 29 deg cool and 35% humidity.. T5 reptisun 12%. However she's hidden in hides pretty much all week since so I downgraded bulb.

Now...

I now use a lower watt bulb at 75w with deets of 27deg cool 31% humidity 36deg warm and 36-40deg baskingt spot..

I've out a water bowl in to Inc humidity as I know dragons rarely drink standing water.... How ever the last 2 days I've had her place her front feet in it... See pic

Not sure whether it's just a refreshing quirk or she's unhappy and this is a statement or it's satisfying her.... Any thoughts? As she's not eating great this week and still has she'd so maybe all jus coincidence.. But u never know...

Good thing is she's out the hide and is nibbling on the odd locust n worm.

Hi, I'm new here, so maybe the others will give you some more information, but I think it is something normal, she is exploring the new surrounding. This is good she is interested :wink:

Sometimes they like to splash around or sit in the water. Especially if they are a bit warm. Turning the temps down a little sounds like it helped. The water dish looks too small to cause any issues, so I'd just let her sit there if that's what she wants. Give her a week or so to adjust to the changes and if you want to make more tweaks after that, go for it. Keep adjusting until she seems content.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
