He looks pretty good 👍 beardies are not supposed to be heavy, his form looks good.
As fas as drinking, the easiest way I've found is to use an eyedropper. If he won't stary lapping it up you can add in just a little bit of non-citrus fruit juice. Apple, pear, cherry, ect or a fruit punch blend that doesn't have citrus. The added flavor usually gets them to start lapping it. Go slow at his pace, don't ever try to force it in. It can cause aspiration if you go to fast. Also be sure to use a wet cloth to wipe away any that runs down his chin. No need to take a chance on causing bacteria or fungus to start in his scales. 🙂

He looks ok- you can also place him on a salad plate in his tank feet and head spray his head the water will drip onto the plate and the movement will get his attention and he will drink off the plate- they drink at their own pace and will stop when he's had enough

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
