New beardy-need some advice :)

[emztootsie]

Hi everyone!
So i jsut got my first beardy, his name is Mushu : ) and hes a very handsome sandfire.
He has been home a day now and he hasnt eaten, or really moved. He jsut keeps scrapping his hands across the crass frantically. Im worried that he is stressed, can i do something for him?
I do work at a petstore, thats were i got him from, his about 4-5 months old.
I have a 20 gallon long width tank, screeen top, uv bulbs and 1 basking light, 1/2 inch of calci sand, and some ordments, as well as fresh veggies, and water dish. Im not sure if it will take more time for him to adjust. Im concerned because he was a spnky beardy and my work.
Thanks for listening and im open to any suggestions! THANKS

Well most dragons are going to be a little shy when they are first moved because of relocation stress. Also, TAKE THE CALCI SAND OUT ASAP. This can cause impaction espically with babies because they are always licking things. You dont need a water dish because 1 he might drown if its big and 2 it will raise the humidity. You should mist him a couple times a day. There are very good care sheets on the webpage. You should check them out.
