Hey, guys!
I appreciate any help with this issue, thanks in advance!
Today I got my beardie a new tank. The temps on the warm side are circa 85 and 90 air temps, the basking temp is between 95 and 105 depending on location and gradient. The cool side fluctuates with the day between 75 and 85.
Since putting him in the new tank, he has been jumping into the glass. Not just glass surfing/dancing, but straight up jumping from decor to the glass. My assumption is that he's just learning the new boundaries (a good bit larger than the precuous viv, and has clearer glass) and trying to jump on exterior objects. Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice on the subject? Are there any other reasons or explanations for this behavior?
I also changed his substrate to sand, which he seems to enjoy. I understand the risks involved with this, but I do feed him live food outside of the enclosure and have some materials to create a ledge away from the sand to hold snacks and veggies. It's no issue to change the water every day either.
