As far as temps what are you measuring them with?

Also you should probably stop feeding the mealworms...the had a hard shell and its difficult for beardies to digest and can cause impaction...especially if they are large like you said.

The compact UVB lamp should go immediately...these along with the could bulbs have been show. To cause damage to beardies and should not be used. The bulbs that are recommended here Are the reptisun 10.0 TUBE bulb and the Arcadia 12% tube bulb...they must be the tubes though as the could and...

I've used theroachguy.com before...Jason is very nice and will answer any questions you have...great customer service.

Just to check what are you measuring the temps with? The stick on and dial ones are very inaccurate...the digital ones with the probe or the IR heat guns are most accurate. Also he could be getting ready to shed in addition to relocation stress.

I have used their lights before...I know if you use their lights the Mega-ray MVB is the good one to use. There were some issues around 2009 with some bulbs because of a supplier issue but I know a few years ago they had the best MVB you could buy and were highly recommended on here.

The issue with the alfalfa pellets is that they can get ingested and cause impaction...all loose substrate is usually a bad idea...you could go with tile, reptile carpet, non-adhesive shelf liner, or even paper towel for some examples that are much safer. Also housing more than one beardie...

The only two recommended lights are are the ones mentioned above...and they must be the tube lights...the coil and compact bulbs will do harm to you beardie and are bad for their eyes and overall health.

Also what are the details of your setup? Lights ( brand and type), temps, etc.

He could be starting to shed....there colors will usually dull before a shed.

Yes, the compacts are just as bad as the coils...both cause harm to your beardie...the reptisun 10.0 tube or the arcadia 12% are the only ones that are recommended...like the above post says check around online and you can usually find good deals.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably send a PM to mudskipper as well...thanks for letting me know!

Yeah you have a good point there...I'll put some feet on my bin so it's not sandwiching the UTH...tha is for the idea!

I wanted to find a human heating pad...it'll be on top of a counter and just feel safer having a human on sitting between the counter and the plastic bin...did find some on amazon...think I'm gonna order one tomorrow.

Thanks ill check amazon.
