Very active all of a sudden?

[Jtara]

My beardie is female and approximately one year and 6 months old. She has always been very calm, just basking all day, eats good, etc. She never really moved around a lot, we always assumed she was just calm and laid back.

Last week all of a sudden she is very active, she jumps off her basking spot, waves her arms against the glass. She is very interested in what I am doing, my computer is in the same room as her viv, so she can see me.

I thought maybe she is looking for a spot to lay eggs, but her belly is very soft and squishy.

I recently started opening our blinds during the day in her room, maybe the added natural light in the room sparked something? Or maybe she can see things outside?

Any guesses?

I am not sure of the answer. My Beardie KNOWS when it's a sunny day and becomes restless. When let out he scales the house.
Bump.

Wanted to add, when I reach in and scoop her out, she is still calm, so although she is more active, she hasnt become aggressive or skittish or anything (which would be a personality change for her). When I take her out and put her on my lap she is still.

Have You Had A Recent Temp Increase? Or Uvb Change?

 

[Jtara]

No temp change, I changed the UVB bulb about a week ago. It was the same we always use (reptisun 10) just a new bulb.

Only other thing thats changed is, its spring, and I like to open the curtains and blinds to let sun inside, since everything outside is green and alive. I hate looking at bare trees in the winter, so everything is usually drawn then.

When we did the time change in the fall, I notice she got lazy and started getting sleepy earlier. This seems like the opposite.

SoundsLike Your Dragon IsGetting A Good Dose Of Uvb All The Sudden Lol.

Could be. I thought they were good for 6 months. It was changed on Thanksgiving, so that wouldve been due for change end of May.

MY Bad Bulb Maybe? I Can AlwaysTell MyUvb Is Getting Old Due To HimBeing Less Active. ALso If My Temps Get Low He Gets More Mello. NoTemp Change InYour Viv?

 

[Jtara]

No temp change. My probe thermometer, and bulb have always been in the same spot....
Could have been a bad bulb I guess.....I noticed when I changed her bulb this time around, her colors got very bright, she hasnt shed, but she looks prettier.
