Welcome to the forum. What is the housing situation like? Can they see eachother?

Thank you so much for the response. We figured out it was the ceiling fan was setting him off. My concern is the new female. she is so sweet and very beefy she weighs 700 grams she hasn't been eating much food since we got her. the reptile store said she is just in shock and to increase housing temp. does anyone know how long it takes them to acclimate?

Glad to hear that you figured out the fan set him off..
700 grams wow she is big I've not heard of one that big.. How is she at moving around? sounds like she may need to go on a beardie diet as they can get fatty liver disease.. They do often get what we call "relocation" stress it can last a week ish'....

I know someone that has a 690g dragon! She could be going through some relocation stress or she could be going into brumation. Basking temp for an adult dragon should be 95-100 degrees.
