Hello,
I bought a baby beardie from Petsmart last weekend (because that none of the reptile stores in my city have them). I have him in a 50 gallon tank with reptile carpeting, a reptisun 10.0 UV light, day and night heat bulbs. He has a rock to climb closer to the heat/light to bask. The temp is 105.
On the cool side he has a rock cave, water dish and salad dish. there is another rock in the middle, just in case he wants to climb. He eats 15-20 tiny crickets/XS dubias a day. He goes to sleep within 10 minutes of his light going off every night. I don't know if he drinks from the water bowl but I give him water every night from a dropper.
My problem is Eliott has stress lines on his tummy and beard. They go away when I put him in his feeding container or when i give him a bath. Im not sure what is stressing him out. Does anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
thank you!
