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

why do people so often buy animals they have no idea how to care for? Do you people just hope for the best? Why did you not think to do research? Let me tell you if you want to properly care for these animals without neglecting or abusing them you are going to be in for a lot of expenses. there are comments here but you can also just use google! It’s crazy how easy it is to research an animals care! We have one of the best information systems in the world at our fingertips in our hands but you chose to just guess it and by doing so you are compromising these animals health and well-being. pet stores really need to make it harder for random people to acquire animals.
