HI
Ok so my Beardie is about 4 -5 months old, little over 10 inches long lol little fat. He is in a 55 gallon tank with reptisun 10 tube uvb and a 90 watt regular lite bulb for basking, he eats about 35 crickets a days and greens and veggies. calcium and d3 powder dusted on his crickets 3 times a week, and slight dusting on his greens every so often. there is about 6 in between his basking spot and his light. my question is- How can i tell if hes is getting enough heat? he turns so dark almost black all over when hes under is lamp,(is this normal) alot of the time he does the gaping mouth to regulate temp. when i take him out he brightens up, he is almost always basking when hes not looking for food, he eats very very well and poops every day, white urate but poop is kinda green and a little wet looking but pretty solid, lol he poops huge, eyes are bright and hes very alert. so is he ok should i be using a 100 watt bulb instead of the 90? i just want him to be happy, at nite he waits for me to tuck him in lol he sleeps wrapped up in a fleece blanket in a hammock until i wake him in the morning with his lights.
