Hi all
I would be grateful for any advice you can give.
Our 2 year old beardie has been in our keep just one week.
His UV lighting was 2 t8 tubes, which I had no idea how old they were.
His heat was an uncontrolled spot bulb as he had no stat.
He glass skimmed and looked full of energy.
That was until I changed to t5 lighting and a dimming stat.
Now he spends all day basking on his branch, shows no interest in coming out and most worrying is not touching his salad or live food.
In one week just one poop.
His cool end is around 26c, basking branch around 105 f, but directly under the lamp closer to 111f
He is happy to be cuddled but makes no attempt to wander.
I'm not sure if the UV bulbs were changed regular as his keepers showed little interest in him towards the end.
All this since I've upgraded his heat and lighting.
Should I be worried?
Thanks
John
