Good news

My girl (sandy) I think is ok now that I have taken her heat light and replaced it with a ceramic infrared heat emitter she has not hidden at all today she has been laying under her uv light all all day what's the distants ment to be between the dragon and the uv at the moment she is about 10 inchs I hope I don't have to move it beacuse it will be a pain but if I have to I will but she seems to love it there she looks so snug. But she has only eaten greens today but she is probaly just makeing me worry again. Once one thing is done you worryed about they make you worry again lol

It seems she might have been hiding because the temps were to high. Bearded dragons prefer bright light so get rid of the ceramic and dont use red or blue bulbs!

Hay thanks temps are spot on now

If she has UVB without a bright white basking light it can actually hurt her eyes. Ceramic heat emitters are great for at night, but not during the day. What wattage bulb did you have before? Maybe try the next lower bulb.

Good to hear they are good now. Bearded dragons need bright light as it constricts the pupils and helps prevent from eye damage!
