Hi guys, my bearded dragon nika just turned a year old and I’ve had her since she was a hatchling. She lives in a 40 gallon tank with 95-105 temps, and 70-75 cool side temp. She has recently been glass surfing in the morning and afternoon waking me up, climbing up her walls and knocking things over. I made sure she pooped because I know she can be crazy sometimes when she wants to poop, but I also just recently changed her bulb to a 75 watt because her 100 watt was too hot. And I changed how her UVB was placed, as well as buying her a new rope climb thing to put in her cage. Maybe these are factors as to why she is crazy, or my tank is too small? Just thought I would share.
Hi Jacob, sometimes even minor adjustments can freak them out for some reason, so that may be the problem but it shouldn't last too long. Or she may just want some time out to burn off energy. Another possibility is that she's carrying infertile eggs [ eggs can develop even if she's never mated ] So watch for signs of digging and losing her appetite. You might want to get a laybox ready just in case.
