Vicky,
I just gave Leo a bath and massaged his belly while doing so. The problem is he absolutely hates bathing; it never lasts more than 10 minutes and is mostly him trying to jump out. I also checked the temps and they are pretty much the same as they were with his old lamps - 96.5 on top of his favorite log and 88.2 under the tree, which are really the only two places he goes to. The only difference is the light is now an MLB and as you can see from this updated photo, is approximately 12 inches from him, so I take it he is getting a lot of UVB... He was de-wormed by a knowledgeable vet in August and early September (took two visits), and his stools looked good since then.
My desk is next to his tank and the light makes me squint too, it feels as if it's too much, but since his distance from it is 12 inches or more, I assume it must be the norm for beardies?
