KarrieRee":29ojrglc said:He is in distress or pain if he is black bearding - what is the humidity level in the tank - it can go as high as 70% but you really dont want it that high ---optimal is 30-40 % -- ok so basking temps are 102 F at the hottest part of basking spot? And what is the middle part should be 90's and cool side 80's all F and taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --you need a hygrometer to get humidity readings -- please post pics of the tank and lighting -- we need to figure why hes black bearding

I don't have a hydrometer just yet but I'm ordering one now.
Here's the setup for him
I've also noticed he stretches his heard a little more than usual,.and just his beard sometimes. Probably just stretching, but thought it was worth mentioning

KarrieRee":1s7kkyna said:Ok so as long as you know hes positive male -- something is off in this tank for him to be surfing like this -- do you let him out? If so how long is he out for and what is his behavior when putting him back in his tank? I would get a light on the other side of that tank its so dark - just a regular HH bulb like a 60 watt will do --- stretching of beard usually means they are going into shed or possibility -- is your tank a 40 gallon? Do you have your UVB in a fixture w/ a reflector?

KarrieRee":2h9ff1v9 said:Something to do w/ the UVB I am thinking- get a new bulb change it out - if he does the same thing it's not that bulb -- then you need to check the basking bulb - do the same
