New Enclosure

I upgraded my beardie from a 40 gallon tank to a 120 gallon tank a couple weeks ago. The basking spot runs 95-100 and I have a uvb that runs in the middle on the inside of the cage the humidity is around 31%. He was active when I put him in the tank but seems to be in his caves a lot. In the 40 gallon tank he couldn’t fit in his hide. He is about 2 years old and is healthy eating and drinking water. He just doesn’t want to come out of his cave much these days. I guess it could be brumation but not sure what to expect.
I included a pic of his set up and light set up. One bulb is 150 and the other is 100.

Could be relocation stress, give him a week or so more to adjust to his new surroundings.

Are you using a coil uvb as well?

It’s probably a mix of stress and brumation. I just made a new enclosure for my beardie and for the first few days he was window surfing a lot and hiding when he wasn’t. He was also on the back end of brummation when switched him over and now he’s calmed down a bit although I think he’s now in mating season as he keeps bobbing at his cactus haha

That is my hope I will let you know how it goes.

Ok that's a good bulb-- distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - basking bulbs should be a clear solid bright white bulb

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
