[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2019446, member: 114539"] He should have a gradient, 80ish on the cool side mid 90's on the warm side. At 4 yo. His basking should be 95 to 100. Please get digital probe thermometers if you don't have them already. Thats the only way to know true basking temp. As far as handling, try putting a small piece of your clothing in with him so he learns your smell. Try taking him out just a little before lights out and let him snuggle into your neck to fall asleep. Give him time to be fully asleep before gently putting him to bed. Try offering food by hand (hormworms are great for this) but be careful if he is agressive at trying to eat he could accidentally bite your finger. That brings up another point, a full grown beardie has a strong bite, if he is aggressive when you try to handle him be careful. Do give him a couple days to figure out his new home, beardies do not do change well, he is very stressed and on high alert righ now. Don't get discouraged though, just have patience and he will come around. It will be worth it once he bonds with you. You might want to go over your setup with us also,uvb type and placement is critical to their health. [/QUOTE]
