Ok so I ordered the Reptisun 10.0 bulb to replace the ReptiGlo 10.0. I got it, put it in and was so excited that Beardie had a new, powerful UV bulb. The problem is that every since I put the new bulb in, he stays in his log most of the day. He's healthy and eating well but refuses to bask. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence that he decided to hide after I got the bulb or if there is something wrong with the bulb. How would one know if there was a prob?

. Everything is the same as before except for the new UV bulb and a new basking bulb. The basking temps range from 95-100* If his temps are any warmer, he won't bask either. :|

How old is he?
Is he getting ready to shed?
Does it appear that he might be trying to brumate?
One last question... have you had a fecal done on him recently or at all? Parasites have a funny way of affecting your beardie and not all of them will display all the symptoms associated with 'cooties' :mrgreen:
One other thought... what is the size of the viv? Is it possible that it is too warm with the 100 watt?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
