New dragon !

[Guccithedragon]

So I got a new baby bearded dragon from a breader the other day . I've been feeding him tiny tiny meal worms and making sure it has fresh water to bathe in or drink . It has all the lights it needs just like my other dragon but I've noticed the baby has really been showing it stress marks and has been turning black a whole lot. What's the problem ?

Hi. Its probably relocation stress. Also can he see the other dragon? If so that will stress him out.

<<< very poor feeder insects choice.
See comparison of common feeder insects , need low fat, high protein, high Ca/P and no hard to digest exoskeleton

Going dark ==> too cold , what are using to check the temperatures (EXACTLY) and what are they at the basking spot, the warm zone , the cool zone and overnight minimums in it's viv too.

Also EXACTLY what are you using for a UV source ?
How is it setup
<<< reflector hood or dome ?
<<< ontop / under mesh lid ?
<<< how far from basking spot ?
<<< brand globe or tube ?
<<< %UVB rating ?
<<< Type = compact (and wattage) or T8 or T5HO ?
