Ok so I got Charlotte for around two months. My guess is she’s about 3-4 months old up until recently she’s seemed happy and healthy. Occasionally tank surfed but once I took her out to play she was fine. She ate and pooped normal tho she’s never been a fan of baths or me spraying her. But recently she’s been acting strange when I turn on the light in the morning (12 on 12 off) she still just stays in the shawdows she’s put her head up and look around but not move (I’ve been moving her under the lamp every day tomorrow I’m not going to touch her all day and see what happens. She also used to jump on crickets the second u put them in now she could care less and maybe eats a few during thru the day and I take the rest alive out at night. She’s also had stress marks that come and go.
I am a first time beardie owner and a college student so her set up definitely isn’t ideal. She’s in a 90L plastic tote (29 x 18 x 13 in) I’ve put chicken wire on the left half and have a 80 wat uvb and uva powersun bulb sitting directly on the chicken wire (bulb not touching) the right hand side is the cool side and just has a plastic garden pot she found and seemed to like, she either sleeps directly in the pot or behind the shawdow of the pot. I normally take the pot out for feeding so she has more room to eat and then put it back when done. I can’t give accurate temps right now but I will be going and getting some good thermostats. Her basking spot is around 90f
Sorry that this is a little sporadic and unorganized um just trying to put as much info as possible. I can give anymore if needed and I also plan on moving her to a larger tank in a while, were building a nice wooden one with sliding front doors.
Thanks for any help in advance!!
