New Beardie Owner

[Katronix]

Hi all,
Just got my first bearded dragon yesterday from PetSmart and I have questions...

Hopefully its okay to start in here:
First some back story, when they took her out of the case she was in, the other Bearded dragon disappeared quickly but this one just kind of stayed in one spot, being easy to catch.

I live on the east coast about 5 minutes from the ocean.

So far Annie has stayed on the cooler side of her new home so far. Its currently 80 degrees with a humidity between 49 and 50.

The hot side is 100 degrees with a humidity of 34%

Only time I think she's eaten so far is when I put a dead cricket right next to her, so she didn't have to move. I did see her move once when a cricket was walking on the glass near her but was to far away for her to get it. She was active a little while after she ate the dead cricket otherwise she's pretty much kept to the same place.

This morning after I turned her lights on, I noticed her humidity level on the cooler side was at 60% till I took the water bowel out.

So here are my questions:
Should I put on the warmer side? This does seem to be where all of her crickets are at.
Should I just wait longer to see if she's still dazed from the move? She's been in this container almost 24 hours at this point.

Thanks!
Kat

I have https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/st...-desert-essentials-kit---40-gallon-54712.html as the kit I bought.
Currently not giving her any vegetables, she's only supposed to be a month old,

By dazed I mean not moving.... sorry for using the wrong word.
And yes so far just using the stick-ons, do you have a gun you recommend to use to check the information?

 

[Katronix]

She's been basking for over 24 hours as far as I can tell.

That is my current setup, both lights are reflective I believe. Should I put it inside the tank?
The lights get turned off at sunset and turned on at sun rise.

As far as I know, she's been on the tree for over 24 hours.

Sorry here is the image. She's been on the left side for over 24 hours.

If you look at my profile pic it shows basically where's she's been since I got her. She did move to the top shortly after she ate the dead cricket but then went back down.

 

[Katronix]

Yes, shes under the 26 volt UVB bulb

I circled her here in this one. This is pretty much under the 26 watt UVB that is above the mesh top.
Currently the stick on says its about 80 degrees with about 38% humidity.

 

[Katronix]

thanks for all the help by the way

If I brought the basking light into the terrarium and changed the orientation that would raise the temp?

 

[Katronix]

https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/en...tile-terrarium-digital-thermometer-14914.html would this be a good one?

 

[Katronix]

The bulbs are 100 W for basking and 26W for the UVB. She's been staying on the UVB side.

 

[Katronix]

I tried to put the lamps under the roof, but there is nowhere to connect them to

 

[Katronix]

Lights are now off for the night

 

[Katronix]

Tomorrow I will get the digital thermometers, they are closed now.

 

[Katronix]

They didn't go inside no where to attach them. For now they are going through the mesh, when they get turned back on tomorrow.

 

[Katronix]

I laid the tree down, wonder if I should put it back up, though probably best not to disturb her now, lights have been off for about 4 hours.

 

[Katronix]

I moved her to the basking side this morning. She seems to look around more instead of just laying there, but she allows crickets to walk right over her without any seeming interest in breakfast.

The stores haven't opened up here yet, but soon will getting a probe
