This is my buddy Ozzie!

So, Ozzie still seems to do it on the regular. However, it looks ike it is just a mid morning thing. By the afternoon he calms down. I have just chalked it up to too much energy in the morning and try to let him out to run around when I notice him doing it. What's strange is when I take him out...

All, Thank you for the suggestions! I will try turning off the fan and see how that goes. I am also going to get him a larger hiding spot to see if he takes to it. (I didn't realize that they really would want to get away from the UV some times.) Here are a few pictures of my setup(see...

Thanks for the information. Now I guess it's time to spend some money and get the right setup. I have the reptisun 10.0 UVB bulb. I got Ozzie at PetSmart. The temps are 90 on the basking side, and low 80s on the cool side. Im just using some cheap thermometers on the sides of the tank. I have...

It's nothing fancy, but it works for now
