Hello again, I posted awhile back about tail rot on my little beardie. It ended up coming back after that and had to be cut off further up the infection. Hes fine now. Heres that old topic.

Heres him now and his new setup.
Hes doing good, eats like crazy, I switch up between a multivitamin with d3 and straight calcium every other day. I give him 6-10 large crickets every day then a bowl of lettuce later. I try to take him out every day and hand feed lettuce/grapes/apple if I have it around.
His habitat is calcium repti-sand, there is 2 heat pads to the left inside under the sane and one on the other side outside the glass on the right. I only run the heat pads in the cold weather. A 18" desert floro and a 75 watt zoomed basking lamp. The temp at the high spot of his log is 90-105 in light and at night doesn't drop below 65. It looks a little close, but that is what the temp is coming out to be at that spot and he moves down when he gets to hot.
The real question of this thread is: he gets moody for a few days every month or so. He might be a girl :wink: It seems to be around his shedding as well. Normally he wants to get out of his tank and is easily picked up but when in this mood he will try to run and even open his mouth and stand up tail ready in aggression.
Is this a normal behavior? Is he just uncomfortable because of shedding?
On a side note, how often should he have a bowl movement? It seems like it should be more, he only goes every 3-4 days.
And overall how am I taking care of him?
Oh and How is he growing? It feels like he should be bigger now as hes almost a year old.
I was thinking he needs a place to hide in and get dark to chill him out sometimes? Maybe even a bigger tank? He gets restless and rubs back and fourth on the sides if I dont take him out and let him run around.
Thanks
