So I've posted on here just about every other month trying to find a solution to Drake's crazy behavior. Hes a 2 year old beardie..about 21" in length. A couple months ago I bought him a custom sliding glass door enclosure. Dimension are 4ft x 2ft x 2ft and all white enterior. My problem is that Drake never wants to stay in it..like ever. Every morning when the lights come on he immediately begins to glass surf. Sometimes he even tries jumping/climbing up the back wall of the enclosure. He'll go crazy until I let him out...where he'll run around and plop himself somewhere to fall asleep. He always looks so depressed to be inside. I use a Reptisun T5 High Output Uvb bulb with a reflector covering a little more than half his enclosure..and a halogen flood light for his basking spot..temps going to around 102 on his basking side and around 85 on the cool side. I'll include a picture.
I seriously don't know what to do to make him happy. I sometimes cant even feed him until hes calmed down outside of the tank. I feed him collard greens, squash, and superworms every 3 days. Hes full of energy which is good..but I'm concerned that I may have done something wrong with his enclosure? I dont understand why he doesnt like it in there. Anyone have any suggestions? Could it be the uvb bulb being a High output maybe?
