Hey everyone, I recently just bought this little guy whom I've named Brock from a reptile show. I'm new to beardies so as most of you can imagine I am RIDICULOUSLY nervous that I'm going to mess up. I've been researching up and feel like I have everything I need but I just don't know if I'm doing all of this correctly since I don't know much about my little guys behavior yet.
He's about a little over a month and and is a red trans tiger leatherback, he was some major stress lines but I assumed that was from moving into the new environment I have, it's only been about 2-3 days since I got him. So I assume he's adjusting still. I've been feeding him dubia and offering kale/collard greens to him (hasn't eaten any yet tho) every day. He also closes his eyes a lot and stays in one place for several minutes, is he just tired?
I'm kind of rambling I don't know what to say honestly... but I have a 150w heat lamp with a 10.0 reptisun UVB bulb combo. There's a pic attatched to show the temp is optimal, just a bit over 100 degrees f.
But yeah, any comments? How many dubia should I be feeding him? He's eaten around 10-15 a day so far, good? I sincerely hope so I might need some guidance.
