Boyfriend worried

Anyone notice anything off boy friend thinks she might be sick

I don't notice anything. She looks alert and healthy to me. Is there anything in particular either physically or behaviorally that seems off? Beardies are really good at hiding things that could be going on beneath the surface. What lighting do you use? Have the rocks and wood pieces been collected from outdoors, and if so, have they been disinfected?

Everything in her tank is from the pet store and the lights are 150 heat and 75 baking light all bought from pet store. Also we were told by the pet store of the things we needed

What pet store? Speaking from experience, the only pet stores that really know their stuff with reptiles are exotic or reptile specialist stores.

Make sure you are using a good UVB in a reflector fixture. The best one available is the ReptiSun T5 10.0, which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-2606...s=reptisun+t5+10.0&qid=1600691427&sr=8-3&th=1
Some other things to make sure of are:
-Proper supplements
-Proper humidity
-Correctly sized crickets or dubia roaches

Hi; Remove the Red light ASAP. Never ever use colored bulbs it burns their eyes. He needs UVB & Heat & temps & Himididty need to be correct or he will be sick w/an Upper Respiratory Infection Or get MBD. Buy a digital ZooMed thermometer and a digital thrive Hygometer or any 5star rated ones on amazon that are digital. Humidity should be between 30-40 and u place in ge basking area next to the temp gauge. It should never ever be higher than 40. Get the ZooMed clear basking bulb for heat & do u have the UVB? He needs uvb to absorb Vitamin D & breakdown the calcium powder. Buy the Reptisun 10.0 T5 the length shoild cover 70 percent of the tank and place it begikng at the hot side. The heat lamp more in the front so when he basks he gets both. Temp for a baby shoild be 100-105. 105 is best till he turns 5mntjs or so then they like it at 100 and when 8-9mnth plus 95-100. NO lights on at nite ever they like pure dark and get a log hideaway they like to sleep under those or a basking platform that has a hideaway. In the summer it’s both lights on for 12-14 hours per day & in the winter lights on for 10-12. Try and keep it on a schedule same time on every mornign & very nite. Try this and u shoild see major improvement of not take him to the vet to test his stool sample for Coccidia which is destructive & UPper real oratory infection asap. Those are the 2common sickness’s. Keep Tank Super clean, wipe poop immediately & never leave food or water in the tank overnite/pick up food scraps too & get temps & humidity correct. Also lots of Dubia roaches and crickets only. Feed 4-5 times a day at this age up until 4mnths old then go to 3-4 feedings per day. Alongside always a plate of diced greens & veggies. Dandelions, mustard, collard greens, yellow squash, bitterly squash, snap peas & greeen beans only as the everyday ones. Feed one hour after basking and last feeding they need lights on for 2hoirs minimum to digest their food. Never ever do mealworms or dried pellets it impacts them & destroys their tummy. Calcium powder once per day 5 times a week REPCaL Brand & Herptivite vitamin powder 2times a week. When 12mnths or older u can do the calcium 4 times a week. But get the temps correct & order the Reptisun ASAp & get appt too.
