My beardie went under the log to sleep during the day for hours. Then he just came out and looks irritated with black beard.
What is wrong?
His beard is slightly lighter but still dark. Heres a pic:

The one on the left is a heat lamp, and the other is a uvb coil.
In the back are some car posters ?

Please get rid of the coil --- for a 40 + gallon tank you need a 24" fixture like a Zoo Med etc -- coils are notorious for causing all kinds of health issues and are basically inadequate -- you would need a 22" Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb - the Zoo Meds comes w/ a 5.0 bulb hang on to it you can use it as a back up but distance and placement would be different from the 10.0 bulb --- this is the fixture you need to look forhttps://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zoo-med-reptisun-t5-ho-terrarium-hood.html
If your taking basking temps w/ a stick on those are inaccurate you need a digital probe thermometer looks like this https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zoo-med-digital-thermometer.html you can look at your pet stores for these things I posted most do not carry the hood length I posted you may haft to order it try Amazon - most do carry the thermometers
Please get these things fixed ASAP -- let me know when you get the hood I can help you place it - you need correct placement and distance

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
