So my beardie Nova is acting weird. I put crickets in her tank this am 3 . All three are still there. This has been going on for a day now . When I got home she seems tired/ lethargic and it doesn’t look like she’s eaten any of her greens. It seems like she’s having trouble staying on her plants in her habitat.

Shes cute --- if shes hiding in the plants and not eating there could be a few things going on here --- relocation stress-- how long have you had her? Second the basking temps are what and how are you taking them? NO stick ons please --- you need a digital probe thermometer -- next the UVB --- what are you using a coil or a tube? Please NO coils they are inadequate and will cause all kinds of health problems-- also please DO NOT leave any crickets in the tank over nite -- they can bite and cause infection

I have a probe digital thermometer temps at or between 103-105 f and I got tube uv lighting. I don’t believe she’s been eating and she’s been blinking a lot and she’s beginning to appear weak like not keeping her balance on her plant

Not good ---where is your uvb? What tube a T 8 or T 5? Distance and placement are different for these bulbs--- your basking bulb is it a bright white bulb or a off white yellowish? Temps are good-
