ive seen my bearded dragon twitching/vibrating on her stomach i dont remember when it started but i havent thought much about it untill now. it happens around her stomach of near where her tail starts i give her calcium d3 and herptivite regularly, her tank temps are 30-36c on the basking side and 24-27c on the cool end, the humidity is usually around 10-20. ive recently switched to a reptisun 10.0 uvb so the old one might have been the problem but i just wanted to ask because shes completely fine and im worried.

Ok please get the T 8 inside the tank if there is a cover over the bulb take it off the screen is blocking 30% of the rays and the cover even more- it needs to be 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor- if the bulb is 6 months please change it- I recommend every 5 months-

Ok the fixture needs to be unobstructed meaning no screen- it's blocking the uvb rays he needs- he's not able to absorb the calcium he's eating-- you can take the screen off or take the uvb place on one end of your tank going width wise w/ the screen butted up to the fixture have your basking bulb on the screen next to your uvb fixture- basking decor directly under the uvb. 6-8 inches
Yes, as Karrie suggested, mounting your tube UVB light underneath of the screen, your dragon
will have a much stronger UVB exposure. If you can't afford a tube light fixture, you can try to get
some flashinig (silver material used in roofing), or thick aluminum foil to wrap around the tube bulb
to help direct the UVB light downward onto your dragon.
