Dash is acting weird

[Littlefoxx]

Hey guys Dash has been running around his tank like a crazy lizard and scratching at everything. Started yesterday. Ive trimmed his nails. He is eating just fine so signs of anything illness wise but he keeps scratching at the glass, his rock and going under his rock and scratching at the corner. Any ideas?

He is in an 40B currently. His basking temp is between 105-110. I have that UV you recommended for him when I first got him, the T 10. Ive been looking to get him a bigger set up just havnt found a good deal on one yet.

I did move his light up higher a little big ago, temp is 103 currently. He seems much calmer and actually sitting on his rock

Could be - adjust his temp first see if it makes a difference

He has been a lot calmer since I brought the temp down. Im thinking that was what was bothering him
