Hey guys,
Brand new to posting here, but I've read a lot on the forum before and since getting my beardie. I got him as a classroom pet and it has been a wonderful adventure for my students to learn about him and see him grow. I usually bring him home with me on the weekends and he has always done fine. I have a 55 gallon long tank at home with plenty of areas for him to climb and hide in. The hot side of his terrarium is about 90-110F and the cool side is about 70-80F. I just brought him home for summer break and since I have, he has been running around the terrarium a lot more and "glass surfing". When I take him out, he loves to curl up in my neck, hair or be as close as possible and hes super fine and sweet. But not long after I put him back in, he starts surfing again. I don't want him to get the idea that he can always come out because he needs the warmth and all... He is also molting which I know is stressful for him. I've on some forums where it may be moving stress, but he's moved every weekend since maybe last October and done fine. His color always looks bright and happy and he rarely flares his neck.
His poop is good and he eats well. He gets a bit of blueberries, carrots if he will eat them, peas, collards and crickets.
He is my first beardie so I just wanted to get some feedback and ideas on what I could do to help him.
Thanks!!!!
