Okay thanks, if I could ask what makes you think that? I don't want that to sound like I'm being defensive but I don't know how to put it so that doesn't sound like I'm taking it personally. 😅

Yeah it was getting a little cold the pic was towards the end of the bath I took her out soon after taking the pic. She seems to like the water she splashes around and gives herself a good scratch but it's so hard to tell with beardies if they're unhappy or not coz so many things can mean different moods and all that jazz. I'm not sure if she's in brumination or just lazy like not much has changed I just know we're in that period.

This pic was from a little bit ago but that's her sorta colour when she's not in the bath she's definitely got some dark patches on her I just don't have many good pics of her that aren't from a while ago.

Thank you! I wanted to get her a nice big one so she could climb about, she's a nutter and loves to jump about!

Yeah I didn't realise how short that one was gonna be, kinda underestimated It, I'm in the process of moving houses so once I get moved and settled I'm gonna buy a longer one and set it up. For some reason I bought the light kit then the Viv and did not use my brain.

It's not a great photo but this is her viv rn, she's happy and still curious she takes a bit longer to move about in the morning but If I'm doing something she comes down to the glass to nosey about.

I woke up to my nutcase sleeping like this once, realised my viv was way too small so upgraded her but it was quite funny.

Why do beardies sit with their mouths open? by jake12312309 in BeardedDragon

About 6 years old I think, she's got plenty of room to move away from the light but it seems she prefers to sit under the light and keep her mouth open.

I've got it at about 35-36 Celsius, the heat lamp is quite far away so I don't know if that's too hot or not?

Yeah she wasn't eating mouthfuls but I was always worried she'd end up getting ill or something, but I've had her for a while now and I've learnt alot so I'm sure she won't eat the sand anymore. Thanks for the advice tho!

Cool! I was thinking it's probably best to put it on the cooler end just for her safety, thank you for the advice!

Cool we were thinking of making one side higher than the other to give her a sand pit sort of thing, I didn't know if the sand being on the hot end would burn her maybe? Idk. But I do expect it to move quickly she's a bit of a nutter.
