<<< came in a viv kit ?
If it's the 13W 10.0 reptisun it's totally inadequate , please in the first instance swap it out for a 26W UVB200 & retire the reflector dome (sitting on top of the mesh lid - am I right ?) with an ExoTerra NanoHood and install this mounted with the new 26W UVB200 UNDER THE MESH LID. See my cheatsheet viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234738&p=1806050#p1806050 for lots of hints and tips and to identify the issues with existing viv kit setup (sand , neodymium basking globe, poor UVB globe) and see this viewtopic.php?f=34&t=235611
to help you work out the best distance from the UVB globe (or later the tube) to basking spot (aim for about 190 microW UVB / sq.cm @ the basking spot).
Ditch the red coloured night globe IT WILL DISTURB beardies sleep, if you need to warm the viv overnight, your best bet is a ceramic heat emitter controlled by a thermostat (be sure it's one which has a remote probe on the end of long wire).
I picked him up a couple minutes ago and that seemed to make him happy ( Stress marks went away and his back was lighter) but he got mad again when I put him back. Im guessing that's normal. Also my tank is pretty humid for a desert habitat, so if you can help with that.
