Hello, my bearded dragon is not yet a year old almost in February! But he tends to sleep like a lot is that normal, like it’s 2:38 in the afternoon and his lights turn off at 6:30 and he is just sleeping in his basking spot.
Any ideas if this is okay for them to do!

Surface basking temps and UVB play a big role in this -- how are you getting the surface basking temps and what are they? UVB coil or a long tube fixture? We need to rule these things out -- it could be the time of year and weather as well but we want to make sure this is spot on to rule it out-- how old is the UVB as well

Hello,

This sounds like fairly typical behavior. A lot of them tend to start slowing down around this time of year. We
can review your temperatures, & setup to be sure everything is all correct.
Is his weight stable? He sleeps in his basking area?

He weighs in the 300 he is a year old in February yes all the time as night but sometimes he takes a nap in his basking area say maybe an hour or two

either she really likes me, or shes hungry
I can’t wait to see Dr.Wilson be a big dragon but I try to cherish hard the moments while he still fits in my hand 🦎
It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
