sleep what! Force bask?

[maskedburito]

So my 2 month old suddenly has decided that he will bask for 20 minutes then run across the terrarium and hide in his hide for 20 mins and then repeat...

All the temps are right, is this ok behavior? I heard sometimes babies need a reminder to bask, should I move him back to bask? Or is he just being silly and wants to hide and do his thing. I assume he is smart enough to bask enough to be healthy? He definitely knows where his basking site is.... Maybe the tv is loud and bugs him?

Im using a powersun MVB 160 watt and a 75 watt heat lamp, as my enclosure is over 24 inches tall, so hard to get heat down as the MVB needs to be a min of 18 away. He has a basking spot of 105 and the cool end of the terrarium is 80.

All your temps seem to be about right. It may be the tv that startles him. I know my little guy gets startled by my hair dryer or my dog coming in the room because he's not used to them yet. How long have you had him?

Only a couple days, so that makes sense. Will he get use to the tv? Or is it best to move him, Im not sure there is another spot in our house haha

What type of thermometer are you using?

I've had my beardie for a little over a week and he's seeming to adapt. I would wait a little bit (assuming that is the issue) and see if he starts getting better. He could be stressed due to being put in a new environment which is normal

I forget the brand, but its a temperature gun that you point with a laser etc.
