Some strange behaviour...

[CliffsMom]

So, my eight-month old male bearded dragon, Clifford, has been behaving a bit off and (I might be paranoid since it's only been three days) I wanted to know what the possible causes might be.
His symptoms:
-Very sleepy, sleeps in his basking spot
-Not eating more than one or two bites of greens
-Only ate 3 superworms (the bitty ones) when he usually eats 6-8
-Generally lethargic
Now, we a) just moved, b) we went from a very hot, humid apartment to a very cool, air conditioned basement, c) I am having some trouble keeping his basking area warm enough (might get a heat pad of some sort).
What do you think? Just a little stress or something else?

i would say it is stress from traveling

Do not use a heat pad.

************************
Not only did the move stress him, but the sudden change in ambient room temp did as well.

Invest in a ceramic heat emitter. They are far safer than an under tank heat pad.
Note: If you have a dimmer dome fixture, that would be the best way to 'play' with the temps.

Beardies can’t feel heat on their bellies, so as others said, it’s best that you don’t.
