Beardie seeing reflection. How do I get rid of it?

[ethanandchicko]

we just built a new glass terrranium and chicko is constantly taming his face into the glass. He's starting to get a mark on his nose. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? Thanks.

Easiest way to resolve that is to put paper towels or newspaper along the outside of your viv for a week or two. :mrgreen:
My beardie did the same thing and I swear her arm was going to fall off from all the waving!! Once I put the paper towels up, she couldn't see her reflection anymore and calmed way down.
I just recently took them down from the front of the tank (still have sides and the back covered) so I can watch her better and I know she can see herself again but she's much calmer now and doesn't spook as easily from her own reflection anymore.

Hope that helps! :wink:
