So I've had my new beardy for about a week now. He has unfortunately been hiding a lot. at first I thought maybe it is relocation stress. Now I'm beginning to think that may be the lighting I have is a little too intense. Specifically the basking lamp. As for the UVB t8 light I do not think it is properly mounted in the right location or big enough. I've been told by my friends that I'm fretting too much and that may be true because I have a tendency to do that with my animals. I would like y'alls opinion on this setup and your opinion what changes I should make.
Okay here we go
