Scratching and laying against viv?

[velvetraynet]

A behavior that my little beardie has been doing for awhile, that I can't figure, out is that she will prop almost all her body against the walls of her viv, and sleep there. She is also commonly found scratching the walls frantically. Why does she do this?

How old is she and how big is the tank? What lights are you using?

 

[velvetraynet]

I don't know how old she is exactly, but she is pretty small, so not even half a year. The tank is a good size. 40 gallons. And I am using a 100 watt external day bulb, and a 75 watt night bulb of same brand, along with a 15 UVB buld, unknown brand

No nightime bulb. Lights at night bother them and will prohibit sleep. Look on your UV bulb. What does it say? If it says anything other than ReptiSun 10.0, you need a new bulb. Is it a coil/compact or a tube style? You NEED a tube one. The coils/compacts harm beardies eyes.
