Hello, I am new to owning a bearded dragon. I’ve had him for a little over a month now. He eats great (roaches), poops about 2x a day. We got him a 40gallon Tank. The ones that has everything u might need. I now know that those light are not the best so I got him a Arcadia D3 12% UVB T5 Bulb - 22". But every time I turn it on he turns dark with stress marks on his belly/beard and will sometimes hide. When I turn it off and turn his coil UVB (the one the tank came with) he goes back to normal. Did I get the wrong one?
Is your screen fine mesh-- or wide holed? Can you post a pic of your lighting? Do not use the coil- they are inadequate and will eventually cause all kinds of health issues-- go to the user image uploader at top of the page in the banner download then click on the XIMG at the top of the message box click on the picture it should post

The UVB needs to be directly over him inside the tank approx 12-15 inches for best effect of the rays - the screen is blocking out 30% of the rays -- you can use these to hang w/ it take the screen off
3 M command Velcro fasteners- picture hanging wire –long plastic zip ties-- fishing line-- shoe laces-- potted plant wire hangers--
Please do not use the coil they are no good--- you want that Arcadia bulb -- it is one of the best on the market
