So, My bearded dragon started this movement of his limbs on Monday (16th July).
He has Pin-worms and a mild Inflammation of the mouth which he is now on treatment for as yesterday he visited the vets for multiple reasons and not just this. (those reasons being; long time not eating enough...
so since I have set up my enclosure the heat is fine, the temperatures are fine
(The temperatures are:
Warm end: 32-35c
Cool end : 24-27c
Basking spot: 39-42c

Tile substrate
Rock ornaments
branches in the cool end (which he sleeps underneath)
both are Exo terra brand.
Two T8 lights, one 10.0 one 2.0
the 10.0 light is 30inches long and the 2.0 one is 24inches...
Thank you for your replies so far.
The Uvb lights are both T8 bulbs and it was recommended on the packaging to be used together and I have also been told in person and on dragon care videos that I need at least 12.0 altogether in the vivarium for him to get enough from the bulbs. I had thought...
I got a bearded dragon on the 1st April, we didn't ask the store how old he was but judging by his length I am guessing at around 6 months old.
I am new at reptiles and have been setting up and planning his vivarium and arrival for a month before we got him but because of this maybe I have set...
