Relocation stress?

[Mike1992]

Hello all. I am going away for the weekend with my fiancee and her family and brought our beardie from her house to mine so my brother can take care of him while we are away. He was fine last night although maybe a bit cold during the time I was setting his tank up. I put him back and put his night light on and he went to sleep as usual. I fed him earlier todayou and all was fine. I went home a few minutes ago and saw him like this.

Is this from being stressed by being in an unfamiliar place? Or can it be something else? Lighting is the same set up is the same. Maybe just what he sees outside the tank?

It looks like he's trying to get warm. Did you take the temps in the new place? Also, is there a specific reason you use a night light? Forgive me Im not trying to be hypercritical, they just usually prefer no lights at night when they are trying to sleep.

I don't usually use the night light but my room is colder than hers. Didn't want temps to dip too low. Temps were slightly lower than at her house but this may have been due to me leaving my fan on. I'll have my brother keep an eye on him

I completely understand. I was in the same situation recently. We went on vacation and had to bring our girl to my sisters house where it is much colder. Her colors were much darker the whole time and she basked 24/7 trying to keep warm. even though ceretric heaters are preferred over night lights, sometimes you have to make due with what you have.
He does appear to be attempting to warm up, that mixed with the fact that he is in a new place and a little stressed are most likely the reasons.
