thank you for your answer. that makes sense. ive read alot up on them and some things are so confusing. one person at pet store said he was too hot, the other said trying to warm up....Originally Posted by Action Reptiles
Hi, The belly spots are refferred to ask stress marks and tend to show up if the beardie is stressed. The dark coloring is usually a sign the dragon is cool and is trying to warm up. Dragons tend to darken up when they are trying to warm up as darker colors absorb more light/heat and once they reach their ideal temperature then will usually lighten up. As for the stress marks some dragons always have them no matter waht some rarely have them as long as your providing the correct environment you should be fine..
ive read just a few minutes ago that bearded dragons can see red and can disrupt their sleep. ive been using Heat Glo infrared at night. he seems to run around up against the glass at night after i turn the day light and the uvb off and the red on. tonight he leaped from his ramp INTO the glass! do you know if this is true? maybe hes seeing the reflections of the things around him or something? idk... but im noticing he really runs around all weird at night time then finds a spot, usually in one of the corners and stands against it and falls asleep. he has crawls and dens.
thank you for any input or thoughts on this.
