HI everyone,
My Male Beardie, Cody, is a little under 1 year old. He is an amazing animal. He is always friendly, was a really good eater and was always pretty calm. About a week ago I noticed that as soon as his lights kick on he will warm himself up, like always, but then he goes into a mode I have never seen.
He will pace around his entire tank, climb up and down all the items and even try to crawl up the front glass of the tank. Then he tears up all of the paper towel that is in the tank. I don't use any substrate as I never wanted to have an issue with possible impaction if he ever decided to eat it.
This behavior only seems to happen in the morning, because when I come home from work I straighten up all mess, no poop, he is calm and walking around during the rest of the day. But once he goes to sleep and the lights come on again it he repeats the same cycle.
He is about 14-16 inches long. He is in a 40 gallon setup with a 10.0 UVB long bulb. his basking spot is about 105-110 while the the bottom of the tank ranges from 95 on one side to about 85 on the other
And to make it worse he hasn't eaten any protein in about 3 days. I still leave his veggies every morning and it appears that he eats a little, but then again he never really ate his veggies.I gave him a bath yesterday and I take him out of his tank everyday and he spends time with me and my family out in the living room. He has pooped so I am not to worried about impaction from superworms or dubia.
Needless to say we all love our Beardies, and I am beginning to become quite concerned. Any possible explanations would be so helpful. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
