A case of glass surfing

I’ve had Basil for about a year-ish now and she has moved tanks a few times since then. The only time I had glass surfing problems was when I first got her or when I moved the tank. Lately though, after moving to her final tank upgrade (120gall, bioactive), I’ve noticed a sort of schedule where she glass surfs every day at noon. I expected this for the first few days but it’s been about 2 months now and the behavior has not stopped. Im pretty familiar with her behaviors but this one stumped me because all her lights are up to date, the temperature and humidity also seem fine, she eats well, and apart from that she seems physically health and happy any other time of day. I can provide information that’s needed if anyone has some thoughts or thinks there is something i may be doing wrong, thanks.

If all is correct w/ surface basking temps and correct placement of UVB is good she may be gravid--- is she doing any digging at all ? Could be she has spring fever and wants out ---- try letting her out for 2 hrs and see if that changes the behavior- if it doesnt change then we need to look at other possibilities as far as what is going on -- can she see her reflection -- how long ago was she moved into the 120 gallon tank?

Thanks for the reply, she could be gravid because she is getting around that age I think but I haven’t noticed an excessive amount of digging. I’ll definitely try to let her out more and see if that helps. I don’t believe she can see her reflection, at least not well, it’s a zen habitat so the front part is not super reflective. As for when she was moved into the tank I believe it was about 2 months ago maybe even a little longer. I’ll update on this in a week while I try to let her out more often, thanks.

It almost sounds behavioral; Or, what Karrie Ree was saying. Eggs.

Get her on Zoom-nosis Immediately. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Hypnosis on Steroids.
Especially with a behavioral issue like that.

Of course, I don't understand the relationship between myself and my Dragon completely.
He's only about 6 months old.
He does what he is supposed to do.
That's all that matters. o_Oo_O

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
