Why does my beardie twitch her legs a lot? And why does she hate them being touched?
Not sure they shouldnt be twitching-- please post a pic of the tank and lighting --- need to see what the husbandry is first --

I'm still setting it up, but she never looks in the glass except for where the towel is so i put it there, and she loves the towel. I literally cannot take it out because she will come over and hang onto it. And the long light is reptisun just replaced and the bulb is i dont know but its new too and it isnt a coil

Is the UVB sitting on the screen or is there NO screen between the UVB and the basking spot?

On the screen
Ok I would get it in the tank or have the screen off --- it looks like you can take it off w/ the basking bulb hanging -- even if you place the UVB diagonal or width wise so its sitting directly over the basking decor 12-15 inches -- move the rock decor and place it under the UVB so its directly under it w/ the distance posted - watch his back legs for the next few days and see if they quit twitching --- we need to know if this is the cause or something else going on but we need to start w/ the UVB first --
