just wondering

[clbauman7]

I was just wondering....when my beardie is in his viv, he almost always has a dark belly. Within minutes of us taking him out he turns creamy and happy again. I have heard they turn dark to help them absorb the heat? Or is our spoiled baby pouting that he has to be in his viv? lol

That is certainly what it sounds like ! Congrates, you are a good mommy !

Do resist the urge, however to always have him out. If this continues, perhaps placing a towel or sheet over the front, so he can't see you might help.

Also, while he is out playing with his "slaves", you might consider having a second UVB and Heat source where he can lounge close by, but still be getting the UVB he needs.

Just a thought

Thank you I hadn't thought of another UVB source. Might have to look into that for the winter months. Right now he is getting outside a lot, but I don't think it is a good idea to take him outside in December in SD haha :lol:
