Hi we bought our first bearded dragon home last week and it just doesn’t seem very happy. He is around 2 months old and spends a lot of time on a branch in the cool end and never seems to bask. He isn’t fussed about eating crickets in the morning but will have around 8 in the afternoon. Never seen him touch his greens. He has only pooped twice in 6 days.
He is in a full size, 4ft tank, sorry UK so don’t know gallons. He is on sand as all the reptile centres locally said this was most natural and what they use but happy to switch this out.
He has a full length Arcadia 10% UV tube and 100w basking floodlight. Temps are around 41oc basking and 26oc cool end. This is measured with a two prong digital thermometer but I have today ordered a temp gun to be sure. Lights are on for 12 hours a day and doesn’t get below 20oc at night.
Will try and upload a photo of the set up. He has been awake for 2 hours and is currently watching crickets bop around him!
