lazy beardie

ok he is almost always lazy in his cage either he sits in his basking spot or on the warm side but when i take him out he is all over the place idk if he just likes to be out rather sit in his cage or what and he has been gettin stress marks lately or at least i think its the dark lines on his underbelly usually when i put him back

My beardie is very lazy too, inside the cage and outside, except when she wants near a window. I hear all these stories about frisky beardies frolicking in their cages - not mine...she is one mellow chick.

Check your temps in your tank - sometimes the stress lines are to capture heat than to be stressed out...I found that once I got the ambient temps right (80 on cool side and 90ish on warm side) with a 100 degree basking spot, she was mostly white in the viv...prior to that she always had stress lines on her.
