most likely tomorrow if it isnt raining is when hes going

nevermind!!! its just a placeholder until my dad goes out again to go get the arcadia uvb i dont think my uncle takes care of his beardies well

,,,i was told by my uncle whos owned many beardies that that was the best one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

he also has a santa costume pic but i thought this one was better pepper the grumpy ravenous elf boy

it might've been because of the semi-recent change in his substrate causing stress?? it used to be reptile carpet but we changed it to some terrarium tiles for easy cleanup hes been more active since i installed the ceramic heater so it might've been because of the cold at night

i think this is what a tube fixture is??? this is the one im talking about that i have in there unless you mean a long tube across the cage

he was actually pretty calm last time i picked him up he looks alright, maybe some poop that ill clean off tomorrow on his tail but nothing else beard isnt black the bulb is a zoo med reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb ive also installed a ceramic heater since i live on a mountain and it gets really cold up here

dude i just said i ruled it out its been changed to a tube fixture i setup a digital thermo in there like you asked

Also, I don't want to pick him up, since he doesn't like it and it could stress him out, so I can't check him for anything.

It isn't brumation, he is still eating and basking, but he hasn't been moving almost at all for about a week. He sometimes refuses to eat his crickets and veggies. I'm not sure if it could be parasites or something. I have ruled out UVB and temperatures, so I know it isnt related to that.

You have asked this question before, when I answered you told me what I needed, so what you told me to get I have. Basking temps are 101F - 110 and cooling temps are around 70F - 80F. I didn't know about the distance thing though. I think the distance is okay. He isn't really doing this anymore...

He's getting a little more active, so either it's improving or something else

Then I don't know what he's doing, because he's sleeping often and barely eating or basking. It's not the UVB, I replace it every month and it's the correct one. I have a digital therm, and his temperatures are good. He's fed every day and occasionally given veggies. I have no idea what could've...

Found a brumation article. My beardie is the kind of one that just periodically wakes up and walks around, then proceeds to sleep again.
