Climbing the walls!

[themamaj]

I have a 4 year old male dragon that is housed in a 40B. T5 Reptisun strip light with reflector, 75 watt incandescent bulb. Basking temp 95-98. Cool side stays 79-82. Eats well and just got a great check up from wellness exam at vet. One thing I mentioned to vet but we didn't get a chance to talk much about was his glass climbing. Usually later in the day he goes through an intense period of clawing the back wall to death and climbing on anything he can. He gets outside time every day and also supervised time in room out of tank to give him plenty of exercise. He also gets daily baths. I have tried adding all kinds of rock for him to climb, different wood pieces. He has a stone cave to climb and also have tried a lizard hammock. Nothing seems to help. Is this just bottled up energy and really wanting to spend more time out of tank? Right now I can't get a bigger tank but may look into that. It is quite concerning to see him do this. I have only had him about a month. He has had some since arrival but it seems more intense at times. Really would appreciate an ideas to help him.

Sadly, a 40B actually isn't quite big enough. You'll need to upgrade as soon as you can, preferably to a 4x2x2. In the meantime, just keep doing what you are doing

Aside from building your own, where can I find something that size?

There are some custom enclosure builders online that will make them. Try K&M Dragons.
