beadie sleeps on his tree branch

[superyynju]

I recently changed my beardie's tank to a 40 gallon one since he has grown to about 9 inches.

I put in a new wood branch so that he can lie on the branch to bask. But at night, he still sleeps on his branch. Is that normal? I mean is it some kind of instinct that he thinks that the branch is higher above the ground so that it is safer to stay on it for the night?

Also, I use lizard carpet as the floor.When I feed my beadie crickets, they all try to hide underneath the carpet so my beadie cannot find them. I used my beadie's old tank to keep his crickets. How do you guys normally feed your beadie and avoid this hiding crickets problem?

Thanks.

Hi. It's normal for him to sleep on his log. Also I fixed the feeder hiding problem by putting in tile.

What type of tile you are using?

Thanks.

I bought some cheap ceramic tile at home depot in the clearance isle. Lots of people also use slate. It helps them keep their nails trim and easy to clean. Don't by smooth though otherwise they won't have traction.

Slick almost always sleeps on his branch. As a matter of fact, I need to try to find him a bigger one. He hangs off the sides of it now! :lol: He's only slept in his hide twice and it freaked me out when he did it!
