my bearded dragon always acts a little weird when his lights go out. his lights come on between 6 and 8 and go off between 8:30 and 9. when his lights go off at night i also go to bed so there is zero light in my room except for the screens on my devices. i can always hear him moving around after all the lights are out for around maybe 10 or 20 minutes. it sounds like hes scratching at his walls. i never turn my lights on to check because he always settles down and from what i can tell sleeps fine the rest of the night. the area he sleeps at is in the back corner so im not sure if its him trying to get back there or something else. how good is a dragons vision at night? should i try putting him in the spot he sleeps when i turn the lights out to see if it makes a difference?

My beardies and many others do that too. It's pretty common for some of them , like looking for the best spot. Then they end hanging from a hammock wedged between a rock or propped up against the wall, so comfy. :)

Surgery, Blood transfusion, Internal bleeding (potentially) not confirmed, Sudden onset anemia, potential aneurism etc. Echo stayed in the hospital overnight and the dr did not have good news when she called to update me today. I’m not 100% sure that I made the right decision by coming to pick her up (against what the dr recommended) but she was in far worse condition since having dropped her off. Help! 2nd opinion!?
The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
