Q???

Ok I moved my beardie into her new tank last night its a 125 g compared to the breeder shes always been in. Now shes mean I put my hand in there she puffs out mouth wide open I noticed her feet shedding and dont know if that could contribute but this hasnt happened before she has all her old stuff in the new tank dunno any ideas?

The size of the tank might be overwhelming her. Plus it is a change so it could be relocation stress. When I moved my baby from a breeder to a bigger viv he acted all out of sorts. I eventually moved him back into the breeder and he's been doing good since. He wasn't a fan of the bigger viv.

I took think this may be relo stress.

ok I put her back in the breeder earlier this morning thinking something might be wrong with the tank, I will move her back to the big viv later tonight or tomorrow morning.

my little one opens her mouth at me when i stick my hand in her tank too. she also puffs her beard a bit but doesn't blacken it. ever since we moved her sibling to another tank she's started acting like that. they're both in 50 gallons

Any time you have an environment change, you can run into relo stress. It can last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. It depends on the dragon.

I wouldn't jump so fast to relocate yet again.
How old is your beardie?
Is this new tank all set? Meaning lights and temps are accurate before you put her in?

my beardie is around 5 to 6 yrs old and the tank was at the right temp as her old one. I took her out of the breeder tank talked to her a little put her in the 125 and now shes loving it. I dunno shes a strange lil gal.

Yeah, at that age I wouldn't worry too much. She will be fine as long as your heat/uvb are accurate.

Just out of curiosity... what are the air temps and basking temps ?

 

[t4bluebird]

im working on that. Ive been talking in another thread about how to heat the enormous tank Decided to put two baskings 150w one ceramic 100w two flours around 26 in and one flours bulb on the cool side this should help then Ill temp right now its on the cool side tomorrow monday I will install this setup
