Raji the Dragon.

Raji is my first bearded dragon, and I wanted to start an adventure thread for him. So I guess you could say this is his introduction!

Here he is relaxing in the hammock I made him, he is a little aggravated going through his first shed however

It looks like he is crawling out of himself lol

I just started up a superworm colony for Raji. By the time he is big enough the colony should be going well. Started out with 250, I just isolated 25 ish, (didnt have any more containers to do more otherwise I would have) But in 8 weeks or so it should be going well.

Can't wait until hes big enough to chow down on them. He was really excited looking at them!

So I wasn't fully satisfied with Raji's enclosure, and being the spoiled beardie he is, I bought him a new 55 gallon tank.

Here are some pictures of his new enclosure

The new enclosure looks great! Love the fauna, basking branch, and purple ladder!
Care to explain all of the bulbs you have? Just curious about how you're doing you're lighting situation.

 

[AustinnKaine]

There's a 60 watt for his basking. A 40 watt on the cool side to maintain temps because it gets cold here. Then a heat emitter in the middle for nights

Also a T8 reptisun for his UVB

 

[Rampagingraptor]

Sounds great! He loving his new tank so far?

 

[AustinnKaine]

I think he's a little upset at me. He hasn't been eating a lot l

 

[Rampagingraptor]

He's probably just having some reallocation stress. Diablo did the same thing when I put her in her new pen, though she seemed to love exploring it.
I'm sure he will love it eventually.

 

[AustinnKaine]

Every time he wakes up he seems to forget his surroundings lol

 

[AustinnKaine]

Does anyone have any suggestions to get him eating?

 

[CooperDragon]

It's possibly shed related too. I'd let him be for a bit and keep offering food and see if he comes around as the shed progresses.

 

[AustinnKaine]

He just has some shed left on his tail.
