Hi, I’ve had my bearded dragon for around 10 months, and recently she has been laying under her log where she usually sleeps for most of the day, she shows little interest in her squash or greens but always goes crazy for worms. Her poops have been regular just wondering if this was normal behavior?
Her basking spot temp is between 105-110 and the cold side varies between 75-80. There’s no visible injuries and just had a poop sample taken and the vet said no signs of parasites or anything.

Normal behavior for this time of year -- just make sure all your lighting is on par --- surface basking temps being take w/ a digital probe thermometer and I would adjust to 95-100 -- and a long tube fixture properly placed for the screen on the tank ---------- NO coils please

I have a reptisun t5 that sits above her basking spot and most of the hot side of the tank and no coils. I also used a temp gun to get the temps for the basking spot. Thank you for your input much appreciated.

Depending on your screen it would need to go in the tank -- 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece - IR guns are good but your going to get a more accurate temp w/ a digital probe thermometer - IR guns can be off by the basking decor material -

I agree with @KarrieRee. She looks adult sized, I'd scale the basking back yo 95 to 100 degrees.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
