If you're using a CHE as your main heating bulb, switch it for a bright white basking bulb....beardies won't do well in a dimly lit tank [ the uvb is not enough bright light ] , they need a bright basking area for good over all health.
And are you certain of the temps. in the tank ?
I'm 'somewhat' certain of the temperatures, but not totally. I need to get secondary and tertiary measurements with other equipment to make sure. I was already planning on switching to a bright light basking bulb ASAP next pay-day, so that's already on the to-do list I read about it multiple times on this website ^ ^ I would like to take him outside for little bits of time, but the only place I can take him for that is the front yard due to dogs in the backyard. I fear that's not a safe environment for him, due to there being no fencing whatsoever.
EDIT: My house is around 18-35 *C at the moment, as it is spring. It varies WIDELY. I think the main problem is due to the vivarium being made of glass with a aluminium mesh screen top (I already know the dangers especially with cats being present).
