sleeping

[mmichele]

my beardie sleeps for 5 hours than he wakes me up by bonking his nose on the glass i have a fourty gallon and some hiding places why would he do this????????????????????

[peterm15]

what day/night cycle do you have him on... is it maybe to warm or cold at night for him...

[mmichele]

my day temp is like 90 95 and night its 75 80

[jay_scir]

Is he an adult? Do you have night lights on if so i'd take them off and see what he does. I had one adult male that did the the same. Also how many hours is his day?

[drewlowe]

He should have a basking spot around 100-115 depending on the beardie. His photoperiod should be around 14 hours day and 10 hours night (close to it cause it's almost summer time).

During the night is there light that comes in or noises that "spook" him.

yah he is a adult and a male and about the turning of his night light wont he be to cold

[mmichele]

no thers no lights or noises that spook him.

[striko_69]

hmmm... is there anything else other than husbandry that can cause him to wake up and go mental?!?

[peterm15]

well i find mine is ready for bed and half asleep by 830.... my lights go off at 10... are your lights goin off to early or late...

[mmichele]

my lights go off at 930

[peterm15]

well youve confused me a little.. does he have any lights on at night... even a red or blue bulb...if so... replace it with a very low wattage ceremic heat emitter... that way theres still heat and no light

[mmichele]

he has a red light

[peterm15]

well then yes turn it off.. that may be doing it... try it for a few nights keep an eye on temps and if needed get a creemic heat emitter for night time...

[mmichele]

You can have the temps drop down into the 60's at night without a problem.

At night i don't have ANY heat on them and i live in a basement that drops into the 60's at night.

You guys don't shut off your light until 9:30 or 10:00, that's kinda odd to me. I've always went on the same photoperiod thats outside. For an example right now lights get turned on at 6:30 in the morning (that's when the sun comes up here) and then they turn off around 7:30 at night (when the sun goes down). If they see any light coming in from the window they are up, droggy but awake.

[peterm15]

well my reptile room doubles as my room.. that and there is no light that comes into my window... ( drapes) so i putthem on a different photo peroide

[new_ICULIZARD]

Before I had my beardies on 3 different shift I would have agreed with you. It seems odd to have their lights turn off later than sunset for some reason, but so long as they have a set schedule, it doesn't matter what time the lights turn on or off. Some of the lights do filter into the other enclosures but they have gotten used to the little bit of light and just ignore it, and a few just like to wake up when I come in to feed the others but it doesn't seem to affect them in the least amount.

[peterm15]

well all mine turn on at once.. and the little bit of lite that does comes through is good for them imo.. that way there not awakened abruptly by bright lights.. and they definatly dont wake up from it...
