I'm a new beardie owner. I had one several years ago, but I feel like I'm brand new to it again.
I got my lil guy/girl about a week ago. He just seems to stay on his basking area at all times, he move around but doesn't really come down off of there that I've noticed.
I have a 12x12x36 tank. 20 gal long I believe.
I have a T5 uvb bulb and a 75W basking bulb during the day, and then a 60W ceramic heat emitter I use at night.
He also doesn't seem interested in eating.
I tried moving him into a box to feed outside of enclosure, he ate 2 crickets and then got mad, wanted back in his house and didn't eat any more.
I can't tell exact temps right now cause dummy me forgot to get temp and humidity gauges. The guy at the pet store didn't ask me if I had them either, so ya know the expert should have reminded me I needed those. They are on the way though, ordered them and should arrive soon.
Could the issue be it's just not warm enough?
Would it be ok to run both the basking bulb and the heat emitter at the same time to get it to temp?
I also have a 100W basking bulb on the way too.
He seems alert, looks at me when I walk in the room, title his head, looks around, but I haven't seen hive move off of that spot, and no poop either.
