this will fall in behaviour/enclosures im sure tomorrow be a week since my beardie is been on the new enclosure i am sure hes very used to it he never uses its hide and she sleeps in diferent parts of the enclosure every night ever since shes got in this new enclosure has not been basking properly so her appetite has decreased which is understandable here is the old enclosure she was basking and behaving normally[ximg]97755 3860897594[/ximg]ok so with the new enclosure this is how i set it up initially i had this setup for 3 days[ximg]97755 4703527633[/ximg]so she would not climb up there unless i put it up there and she will stay there for a while so i put this in front [ximg]97755 3594909269[/ximg]same thing she would just climb the first branch and stay there unless i picked her up and put it on the branch myself today she slept on top of the brown hide and stayed there till i woke up this afternoon again i put it on the branch but she would not move much so i figured she is not comfortable in the branch so i just did this[ximg]97755 7180362441[/ximg]now that is the easiest way to the basking spot lol but why is that happening the fluorescent light is a t5 ho 10.0 but is below 100 micro watts she was getting like 30 before so maybe she does not like the increased uvb or she was not comfortable on the branch i just installed a ve 200 d thermostat i just ordered the night drop so the lights will go off without having to shut off the thermostat as long as the ambient temp is 92 the basking spots stays 95 to 102 it does not matter what i put as a basking platform i tested it my enclosure height is 23.5 as long as the platform is 8 inches high with this 100 watt bulb as long as the ambient temp is between 91-92 basking is fine.any suggestions?the only thing i can rely on is my instruments infrared gun,solar meter i don't know whats up with this gal dragon.
