So tonight, I walk in on my beard about an hour after his lights went out to discover him sleeping pretty much standing up. Any reason for this?

Hello and welcome:)) what gallon tank do you have?

Gonna make a trip to the store and see what i can do. Do you think it would be better off right over the basking spot or towards the back of the tank?

If you could that would be great! Would a couple pieces of strong double sided tape do the trick?

On top of the screen, directly over his basking spot.. the screen is a really fine mesh material with lots of little holes in it .

So about a month ago i posted with some questions about diet etc.. long story short, my beardie was not eating his greens ( only live food ) not pooping regularly and seemed very lethargic.. sense that post i have switched some decor in the tank, purchased a ProT5 UVB kit , and made some slight...

I agree with this, i also personally let my buddy soak 3-4 times a week during shed. It helps to loosen up the skin making it easier to shed. I have a rock in my enclosure with soft rounded edges that my boy loves to rub his face on during shedding.

His basking bulb just went out as we speak, so I’m gonna have to go get another one, and I will see if they have a daytime one. The branch is coming out. I will post a picture of his basking spot without the branch. He also has his hammock where he can get closer if need be.

I think what i did might work. I will attach a picture. I have a digital probe thermometer to get basking temps on the right side. It’s just out of the picture. The bulb definitely does have a yellowish tint to it, but it is a Flukers Bulb .

The screen comes off in two peices

So update, i did my research and ended up finding a store that had the Arcadia Pro T5 ( 24W) uvb kit and i went ahead and pulled the trigger. Now i just need help with the positioning:))

So i should look for a t5 with a 22’’ fixture? Ps: i have a 40 gallon breeder currently.

Im also attaching a picture of his tank.. please let me know if anything sticks out to you? Im trying to eliminate all possible sources of his appetite change. This is my second beardy, however these issues are completely new to me. Thanks in advance!!

Ok so update, he pooped later that day on his own.. however it was very runny and dark and now hasn’t pooped in a day and seems to be somewhat interested in the greens. Im going to attach a picture of a uvb light my pet store has . Please let me know what you think of it!

Also. He soaked this morning for almost 30 minutes and still no bowl movement . Any other ways i can try and help him with that? ( stopping insects until he does??)

Dome says 660w. I believe the bulb is either 75-100

What would you recommend for basking, i dont feel like these fixtures have enough power to supply that level of heat.

I got him about 3 ish months ago. He was not a baby baby when i got him either. So right now i would say between 4-5 months. He measured in at 14 in the other day. Insect wise he gets crickets and super worms. Greens he’s getting kale/ Romanian hearts / collard greens. Basking temp stays around...
