Trying to Dig? HELP!

[KadesBeardie]

So my bearded dragon lincoln is very active . He has been sleeping a lot lately and acting lazy but today it changed. Was it Brumation?
Today though he ran under his basking platform and started trying to dig under my reptile carpet. Is there something wrong with my temperature? It is usually around 30 C on his basking spot. I do have a cool down side. I'm pretty sure I've got everything he needs like heat bulbs and a UVB light. I do have many hides, climbing stuff etc. Why is he doing this?!

How old is he and are you sure Lincoln is a male ? Here's how to check for sure.

They weren't sure at the pet shop of his age. He is about 9 inches long. We do not know if he is a male for sure.

If he is a she, she might be trying to lay eggs, even if there is no male. The best thing to do is set up a lay box. You can do this with a plastic container and a 'sandcastle' consistency of playsand and soil.

Oh well, he's much too young to brumate....but you definitely need a few adjustments . His basking temp. is much too cool...it needs to be 40c rather than 30c, the cool side can be about 27C. Can you list the exact type + brand of lights your'e using ?
