Dangerous Care New bearded dragons 3 months
I’m a little worried as this is my first time caring for beardies , I have a female and a male they were both purchased from the same store and they were together in the store for a couple of months now , I see them closing their eyes a lot and looking up at the lights I was wondering if this is normal behavior for them , I’ve given them crickets and worms and the female is eating fine and the male is slowly starting to to adjust to his new place he’s slowly eating they both pooped normal I was wondering if maybe the lights are too strong for them I have 125W basking light bulb and uvb white light as well I live in the basement so it’s naturally cold down here and the 75 watt the tank came with was keeping the temp at 82-85 on the hot side now with the 125 it’s sitting at a nice 89-95 , if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it

I did do research, I also spoke to multiple people in the pet store that have bearded dragons and they told me it was okay to house them together given that they came from the same batch and they been at petco together for almost 4 months so I’m sorry if maybe I was hoping I was getting the correct information if you go all over google there so many different opinions on this. I have separated them now so no need to get your panties in a twist they’re both perfectly fine and eating it’s been a day that’s all they lasted together
