So new bearded dragon parent. At the beginning of December I was at the pet store and this little beardie was being kept in a tiny tank with no where to hide and that was not ok to me. I had wanted to get a beardie for awhile so I decided right then and there that I was not leaving without the little guy. I have multiple Ball Pythons and so I have extra tanks for when I take in a resuce. Brought the little guy home and got him set up in a 40 gal tank with a heat lamp and a uvb light that stretches across 80% of the tank. His temps are between 105-110 consistently in the basking spot and the warm side of his tank is 90-95 and on the cool side the coldest measurement I have gotten is 83. Things have been going great and he eats dubais, black fly larvae, crickets (not his fav) and for treats 2 horned worms a week. He gets twice a week baths and he regularly drinks out of his water bowl in his tank that I change twice a day. Today though he has started to act like a spaz. I needed to change out his basking bulb and the one I usually buy was not available so I purchased a different brand. The wattage is the same and the light produced looks the same to me. For some reason though he (assuming its a male, I have no clue) is acting in like a spaz. He has been running all over more and usually when I put my hand into the tank he climbs right up to be held but after i changed the light he doesn't want to be held. His beard is not black at all his whole belly and beard is its usual white and he is not hissing he is just acting strange since the change. Could the new light be making a sound that I cant hear that might be bugging him? or maybe the light is different so he is just adjusting to the change?
