Okay thank you for the help

His weight is around 518 grams and hasn't changed as far as I can tell

Well, another possible concern has arisen. Spike is always trying to be in his hide and isn't very active. In addition, he won't eat his greens (collard, kale, and mustard). Although I thought this could be brumation at first, he doesn't really sleep (just sits awake in one place all day) and...

The vetinary clinic I got him from said he was a male and had been brought in from someone who had put him in the same enclosure with another bearded dragon, and he hurt his leg when they ended up fighting. Personally I will check again, but I was always afraid of hurting him accidentally if I...

Okay, so after removing the hammock he still won't bask on his log. I will probably look for some driftwood or other piece of decor that I can use after being sterilized or bought. I noticed he will still stay in the same spot even if the temperature is slightly higher without the shade. I don't...

This is the setup with the hammock

There is one that he has had since we got him (which has been cleaned several times), but there is also a mostly unused hammock that could be considered newer. However, whenever I put the hammock in there, he usually just goes underneath into the shade. Do you think a brand new piece would...

Yes, it is inside the tank

I believe it is a 22" t8

Unfortunately, he has gone back to his old ways and stopped basking a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I installed the reptisun 10.0 (inside the tank), and it is around 11" away from his basking spot. He has another spot to get within 7" of the light if he wishes to do so. I have reduced his...

I think he's all good now. Changed his temperatures a little and gave him a better covered/shelter area. He now goes onto his basking area on his own. Seems more energetic as well. Thanks for all of the tips

Recently, I've noticed that he doesn't go into his hotter basking spot very much and stays more towards the cooler side. I thought he would like the warmth more, but is something wrong or is he simply adjusting?

Just to clarify, I only use the hood for half of the tank which is situated on the cooler side. I use a separate fixture for the other half. Would using this hood with something like the reptisun UVB 26w 10.0 tube work if used with a second UVB bulb? I am limited by my parents when it comes to...

Thank you for the encouragement Also, this is more like what I have: https://zoomed.com/naturalistic-terrarium-hood/ I don't currently have a t8 and the hood currently sits right on the top of the tank

Yes, I believe it has a reflector. It is 12" because the top of the enclosure has a break in the middle and cannot support a larger one. I don't have a thermometer yet, but am still working towards it. His basking temperature is now 95-100 degrees though, so it's better. I also noticed he is...

I have installed a basking bulb so far which has increased the temperature a good amount. I have also found a holder/fixture for a UVB tube, but I have yet to order one. Just wondering, where would you say is the most reliable place to order dubia roaches based on your experiences?
