My 2 month old beardie, Mushu, jumped off his basking spot and started freaking out, running around the tank.. This lasted only for two minutes, but his coloring became super dark. (He was also very dark earlier when hunting for the crickets).. Should I be concerned about this strange behavior?
Also, when he turned dark from hunting the crickets, I didn't take him out because I wanted to see if he would lighten up himself, and he did, after going back to his basking spot. When he had his freakout session, I took him out, and after a few minutes, he lightened up.
I'm not sure if this happens any other day of the week because I'm usually at school or work.
Just in case you want to know about his set up- he's in a 20 gal long tank with a powersun uv bulb (100w). His basking spot is about 106* and cool side is about 80*.
Thanks!
