First off, Hi! I'm Madison, or Maddie, If you like! Nice to meet you all!
I got Arvo (My male bearded dragon) about 2 months ago. He's about 16 inches long, and around 6 months old. I just have a few questions about him:
1. He HATES baths/showers. If I place him into a bath, he tries to get out ASAP. I keep the water level at his shoulders, and its high 80's to low 90's in temperature. (I use a temp gun)
2. I think he may be a little dehydrated, he hasn't eaten in two days, and his skin is a little loose. But his eyes are wide and bright, and he holds his head high. Is he dehydrated at all? I know it's not impaction, since he pooped yesterday, and today.
3. He doesn't seem to like me that much yet. I've seen some dragons in which they LOVE coming out of the cage. Mine doesn't really care. Sometimes he will move away from my hand. But he never runs from me, or hisses/bites.
4. He isn't super active, AKA, he is more chill, and likes to sit and watch everything rather than run around. But he loves climbing things. At times he will run on my bed, or climb pillows, but he isn't crazy active. Is this normal for a male beardie his age? He has been like this ever since I got him.
Some information about his set up:
He is kept in a 40 gallon tank, paper towels as substrate, has a white basking light (his temps for basking range from 95-105 most times), and a red light (for extra day heat.). His UVB is a 10.0 HO reptisun tube bulb, that sits ontop of the screen wire top, he sits about a 11-12 inches away from it.
Some information about his diet:
He usually eats about 30-40 crickets a day, and some greens. He doesn't care for fruit/veggies though.
That's all for now!
