Gizmo does not like his VIV

[Gizmosgranny]

Just wondered if anyone else has a Beardie that loves being out of its VIV? Our three month old gets dark when in his tank but brightens up as soon as we take him out to run and play. He loves being held too. Is this normal?

His basking temp is 100-103
Cool side 80-82
We are using a reptisun 10.0 tube
60 watt white light
100 watt and 75 watt ceramic heat bulb
50 gal tank
Eats 40 or more crickets (dusted every other day) daily plus greens (kale, mustard and collard) daily. Fruit every other day.
He poops twice a day
He is at almost 12 inches long from nose to tip of


We have rescently changed a few things we added two slate tiles and a climbing branch.
