Hello everyone!
I recently adopted a baby (2-ish months old and 5-ish inches with a stumpy tail). I've had my baby for 5 days now, and it still has very prominent black stress markings (that's what I've been told they are) on its throat and tummy all the time, even when I'm not interacting with it. The markings are like little black squiggles that sometimes get lighter and sometimes get darker, but they're always there in some capacity for my little guy. I'm going to list everything I've been doing for my beardie thus far so people can maybe point out a problem and show me why my baby is so stressed
What could be causing my baby so much stress? Is it still just adjusting to the new home, and if so, when should I start to worry if it doesn't improve? Thanks for the help!

- -Lighting: reptisun 10.0 flourescent, 150w basking bulb, 100w ceramic heat bulb (our house stays very cold, so even though those bulbs seem wayyy overkill, it works out lol)
-Tank Size: 75 gallons (natgeo brand)
-Temperatures: 81-85 on cool size, 100-107 on hot side
-Humidity: 30%, sometimes down to 25%
-given 1/2" dubia roaches 3 times a day, until full (usually around 30 a day)
-salad left in tank all day containing: collard greens, dandelion greens, alfalfa, green beans, bell pepper, a tiny bit of apple
-other pets arent allowed in the beardie's room, but sometimes my cat will meow outside the door
-all but 3 sides are covered
-sometimes it waves at me or at nothing
-sometimes glass surfs when its super hungry for bugs
-usually pretty active. running around the tank, exploring, etc. sometimes it just likes to bask, though
-lights on at 8am and off at 10pm
-i have 4 hides, 2 hammocks, and several bridges/ladders
-it's okay with handling. a little flighty and hesitant, but that's to be expected. I've been handling it for about a minute at a time about twice a day since I got it.
-I spray it every morning and night and give baths twice a week (to help with shedding), and it doesn't really enjoy that lol
-the tank is cleaned at least once a day. no poop stays in the tank for more than a couple hours, if I'm at work or something.
What could be causing my baby so much stress? Is it still just adjusting to the new home, and if so, when should I start to worry if it doesn't improve? Thanks for the help!
