Hey guys! Havn't been on here in quite some time! My little Reptar just turned the big 1 year old the 5th of this month!

Anyway,I have a question. The past few weeks,he's been driving me INSANE with his glass dancing. I can't get any sleep! Lol his lights turn on at 8am and turn off at 9pm.. And I swear,he is constantly doing it. I take him out everyday to get him out of his cage and get some exercise, but he will run around for 5 mins,then find somewhere to sleep and knock out. Usually when he glass dances,that's his way of telling me he needs to go potty,and I'll give him a bath. But lately he has been doing it NONESTOP!! He literally is making me want to pull my hair out!
I just moved him into a 75 gallon tank a few days ago. Same lighting and heat,same ornaments. I still taped a backround around the sides except for the front so I can see him. But in yet he still does it! I'm out of ideas..Can anyone tell me anything they have done,or give me some tips??

Thank you!

Okay,here goes!
He is a year and almost a month old.
Almost a year on June 14th.
He is 19' from head to tip of tail.
A boy :)
He just got moved into a 75 gallon tank.
Either paper towels or Repti Carpet.
Yes I do. I use a Repti Sun 10.0 Tube,as said in this forum :)
Just changed it this month on the 2nd.
He gets 6 in with the Lights of America under the counter wall fixture inside his tank.
Yes I do. It is a Zoo Med 150w basking bulb.
Basking temp is right at 103F give or take. Cool side is room temp at 73F.
I use both a temp gun and a probe one. I take it at the highest point of his basking log.
No I don't.
He gets a fresh salad every morning,topped with adult bearded dragon bites which he loves. Collard greens,mustards green,and romaine lettuce are his favorites. Every other day he gets as many superworms as he wants. He has taken a liking to hornworms and silkworms. Usually gets fed protein mid-afternoon.
Yes they are heavily gutloaded with veggies and greens. I use Repashy's All In One Calcium Plus at every feeding.
He usually poops once to twice a week. He gets a bath every other day,or when he looks like he needs to use the potty lol
No,I never mist him. Just give baths.
No,I havn't gotten a fecal done.
And no he is not,nor will he ever be :)

Hope that helps! Any tips for me?? :study:

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
