Hi all,
Our new 3-month old beardie arrived this past Wednesday and seems to be settling in. He is alert, active and has taken both greens and feeders (6 - 14 crickets per feeding, a few small superworms and a couple of silkworms).
The one thing that has me a bit perplexed is that, based upon most of the reading I have done, I expected him to use the 110 degree basking spot, but he has his favourite spot where he spends most of his time, even after eating, which is at 97 degrees (circled in green).
I have taken temps across the enclosure and would appreciate some input as to whether I should change things up. I would like to think that he will pick the temperatures which work for him but perhaps I need to lower the basking spot temp?
