So i have wanted a pet reptile for a long time and im also ocd. lol so ive been doing tons of research and lurking here on the forums for 8-10 months. Never posted until now. I need some help or opinions. So i ended up going with a beardie. I adopted from one of the many neglectful people on craigslist. Not because i was looking to save money but because id rather save one from someone elses bad habits. It came with a terrarium but its not a normal breeder tank. its 4 foot tall and 4 foot long 18 inches wide. Slidding glass doors on the front. Wire cage top. Not small mesh screen but not chicken wire either. The cage itself is gray plastic. The bottom is glass. Its not home made. Just never seen one like this. Anyway so i get the big guy home. Hes 2 years old supposedly. Owner said firefly morph whatever that is. Never heard of it. Looks normal to me. Since i got him home 5 days ago he wont come out of his hide hes awake just hanging out. And hes only pooped once. I have to take him out daily and put him in the basking area. Ive also been giving luke warm baths daily to stimulate pooping. Still hes only gone once. When i do take him out hes active walks around and acts normal. But wont eat any greens and has only eaten 3 large superworms. Cool side with hide is 75 degrees. Basking spot 110 and ambient is 80-85. My first question: is this normal behavior? My second question is The UVB bulb is on top of the cage which is 48 inches high and the light bulb a 48 inch 40 watt reptisun 10.0. Is my beardie getting the proper UVB from that high?
