My girlfriend bought me ducky, my beardie, around thanksgiving as a christmas present. (Not good at keeping secrets.)
I brought ducky home the day after christmas, mom not to happy about lizards. Once I got his tank set up in my room i added a floor heater, but stuck it to the side of my 55 gallon tank (the pamphlet recommends that). I also set the lights up to a timer so they turn on 8 am and off at 10 pm. my girlfriend noticed that he looked tired so i gave him another hour of dark so he might sleep allittle more. Another thing i changed was a new 75 watt basking bulb because my room is not as warm as my girlfriends room. after that he started spending most of his time under his rock. after two days of his hiding i switched back to the 60 watt bulb to see if that would help, it did not.
I was just wondering what i should do!!
