Hi again and thanks for answering the questions. It is very possible that the move had something to do with his behavior changing because his temps may be different from what he had before. If the room temp you have now is hotter or colder than it was before the move, it could be part of the reason he is not acting happy. Actually, any type of stick-on thermometer can be off by as much as 20 degrees and they only measure the glass temp, not the actual basking area and that's the temp you need to know, so the basking area might be much higher. There are actually only 2 ways to get an accurate reading and that is with either a temperature gun or a digital thermometer with a probe on the end like this:
The one like this can be found at Walmart and only costs about $12.00. What you do is lay the probe end so that it is resting on the basking area and place the thermometer part on the cool side, wait about 45 min for the temp to stop rising, the "out" reading is for the basking site and the "in" reading for the cool side. With a 20 gallon tank, it's very hard to get the temp so that the basking side is about 100 to 108 and the cool side 75 to 85, with 80 being ideal. Since he is over 1 yr old, he is probably 15 to 20" long so a 20 gallon is actually too small for him, so if you look on Craigslist, you might be able to find a 40 gallon breeder tank or larger for a very reasonable price. The combination of having the temps off & the small tank could very well be causing him to overheat which can lead to dehydration very quickly. I've heard of quite a few beardies getting aggressive when the temps are too high and when the temps were under control, the beardie acted totally different. The reptile lightbulb you have now is probably either a 60, 75 or 100 watt so if you find the temps to be too high, you can even use a standard household lightbulb in place of it which will also save some money. Make sure the basking bulb is a bright white bulb because any colored bulb can irritate their eyes which also causes them to be miserable.
Do you have any type of
UVB light? It would either be a long strip light, a coil, or compact bulb. The UVB's are a necessity to prevent metabolic bone disease. You can read about it here:

The best strip fluorescent UVB you can get is Repti-Sun 10.0 and you can get it here for a very reasonable price, this company is great to deal with:

Any coil or compact UVB are very dangerous and some other strip fluorescents are just about useless.
For the hood for the Repti-Sun, you can go to Walmart, Home Depot or Lowe's and buy a standard fluorescent light like you would use over a kitchen sink, in the basement or shop, remove the bulb that comes in it & replace with the UVB, making sure to remove the plastic covering over the bulb because otherwise it won't be able to penetrate through the plastic.
Since you have an adult, we recommend 35 feeders a wk if using a large feeder like superworms but if using just crickets, we recommend about 50 a wk. It is totally different for baby beardies. Here's a site that shows the best greens to feed:

That's good that he likes being misted and that he drinks when you mist him. Does he have a water bowl in his tank or do you mist his greens? That always helps too. I actually give our beardies baths every 3 to 4 days and they love it. I have been doing that since they were about 3 wks old.
What type of substrate do you have on the bottom of his tank? Wanted to make sure that it isn't calci-sand because if ingested, it hardens like cement in their bellies. Does your beardie poo regularly and does he ever have a hard time passing it?
I know this is a lot of info and I've asked a lot of questions, just trying to cover all bases to see if we can get him to calm down for you. Hope I haven't overwhelmed you.
