    Behavior question

    I'm considering re-arranging the reptile room soon. My beardie loves to stare out the window all day so I'm thinking about moving his cage right next to it. Has anyone noticed behavior differences in beardies close to a window? (Stress, different basking habits, eating habits..) I'm just worried about stressing him out too much.

    Re: Behavior question

    Wouldn't be too bad from what I have seen, but my Beardie is kinda dumb sometimes because she thinks she can go through glass and out the window.

    If you want to do it I'd say go for it, nothing really can harm the Beardie. Just remember to not place anything near a window that can melt. And also UV rays from the sun can't go through glass, so getting UV light from the sun into the enclosure is most likely impossible.

    Mine loves being outside. But since he can't be out all the time it's the next best thing to have him by the window I guess. He's got a UV light already. And the sun doesn't shine directly into that window anyway. I just think he'd like watching everything outside.

    Sounds amusing to the Beardie. Mine doesn't like being outside too much, she turns a very dark color so I can tell she gets stressed about it
