Odd Habits

[Adam West]

My beardie has their eyes closed all the time If not both just one. He’s about a month old, I feed him collard greens and crickets but he’ll only eat 2-3. I have a reptisun t5 uvb light but it is on top of the steel mesh cover of his tank. I dust his collard greens with calcium and a multi vitamin once a week. I have a digital probe and two stick ons. I’ve had him for about a a week and a half and he’s shed once. He has purple discoloration under his right eye. I bath him in warm water 2 times a week. Humidity is between 20-30 during the day but goes up to 60 at night( I know I’m trying to fix that). Basking usually 100-110. Gets down to 80 on cool side.

The UVB needs to be 6-8 inches from basking since its on top of the screen --- that screen is filtering out approx 30% of the rays-- it is normal for them to close their eyes when they bask and the purple almost looks like his coloring --- the 60% humidity if fine --- its when it gets over 70% is when you need to be concerned--- I would put a piece of decor under the UVB that is 6-8 inches --- for his UVB

Thank you I built a little ledge he can go on to get closer to the uvb. The thing is he doesn’t only close em while basking he closes them all the time

The ledge is about 6 inches from the uvb the basking bulb about the same. I have a digital probe and two stick ons.
