Hey guys. My baby beardie is about 2 months old now. Got him at about 3 weeks. He has a great set up. 4×2×2 tank, repti sun uvb tube, basking spot of 105-110 at highest temp...good eater. Good pooper. Even eats greens. My question is that we recently moved him out of my son's room into the living room. I think he notices the change and is a little sketched out again. He seems to be a little nervous at times. Gets all those squiggly little lines all over his body. We take him out of the tank like once or twice a day just for a few minutes. And I basically hand feed him everything so we can bond. Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes when I take him out I feel his heart vibrating through my hand. Is he most likely just nervous and reacts the same way humans do when nervous?? It worries me a little because I don't remember that happening with my first beardie. Any help/advice appreciated.
Yes he's going thru relocation stress- please leave him in the tank pet him hand feed him he's very young- you might want to partition the tank to about half or even 1/3- I would however stop hand feeding him all the time- otherwise he won't eat on his own when you want him to-- he needs to start eating out of his bowl-
