this mourning, i woke up n my dragons beard was darker n he him self seemed a little darker.. he didnt eat anything at all this mournin, and hes only been eating like 10 crickets a day which correct me if im wrong is low for babys... i suspect he may be stressed still from the move cuz i was soo worried bout him not eating i was in and outta his cage all the time. but also i think it might be heat ..i went out to get a digital therm yesterday and his basking spot is only 92, i didnt think to temp, his cage las night while his night light was on but i prolly should have n i plan on it tonight.

i currently have a 75watt household bulb in a lamp that goes up to 100watt, should i go to a 100 watt bulb, will that make a differnce in heat, my night bulb i do worry about as its only a 60watt, and i really should temp it as i think his temps at night are wayy to low... as for uvb i still have that one i told you all about but i plan on getting a new one friday should i also pick up 100 watt nightlight n household bulbs to attempt to raise his heat a little?

He's still fairly new enough to you and all that relocation stress might still be in effect.
As for the watts needed, what are your temps ?  Those will tell you if more or less is needed.

When I first got my baby bearded dragon back in december i noticed during the day he was a darker color close to black just underneath him from the beard to his belly with this really cool design and the top of him is just like beige and dark gray or so with a little green along his spikes and sides...and i noticed at night time he turns completely white underneath from beard to belly im assuming because hes more relaxed it did take him about a week or two to be eating regularly and when i hold him i pet the back of his neck and he gets relaxed again and turns that white color and really greenish up top like a green that i dont normally see on him when hes in his tank but what people told me to do was to leave him be for about a week and let him get used to his surroundings and adjust so i did and he was really fine after that he still kinda runs from me when i reach for him but he usually gives up and lets me hold him hes still getting used to me lol

Thank you i took him/her to the vet, the vet wasn't sure on the sex he said it was still hard to tell but he thinks it might be female, an Hable, my basking area is around 90-95 and the exotic vet told me that was perfect for a baby bearded dragon and the cool area is always 70-75 so im pretty sure youre okay unless someone on here thats prolly a little smarter than me with bearded dragons says otherwise lol
