Today when i got home I put my beardy in her bath within 2 mins she jumped up which she has never done before. I had to grab her since she is a baby and she can't get away cause I live in an old house with lots of hiding spots. I put her back in her tank and now she is sitting up with her head up as high a she can get it. And is just acting weird...what's wrong??

Do you think she ingested some water?
It is possible she just got a bit spooked.

Is she looking up at the lights or just has her head really high up?
What do her basking temps, and cool side temps look like?

What type of UVB light are you using? (brand and wattage?)

A baby dragon's basking temps should be between 105 and 110 f degrees. What are you using to take the temps with?

greetings~

Im not sure why your beardie is freaking out about the bath. Sometimes they jsut hate havign baths.

the ligthing you have does not have any UVB you will need to pick up eaither a Repta Sun 10. floresent tube lamp (not to be confussed with repta glo) or a Mercury vapor bulb? Pet mountain.com has the Floresent set up for pretty cheep. You will alos need to pick up a digital thermometer with a probe Stick ups can be up to 20 deg off. They have really cheep digital thermometers at walmart for about $12.

Check out the care sheets located at he top of the web page. there are very usefull tips on viv set up and beardie care.
Hope this helps!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
