What are the temps at you basking spot? If you find you are having trouble getting them up you can use a flood light style bulb and it will concentrate the the light on one spot better.

I asked about sand but my herp vet said not to use sand of any kind...said beardies don't live in the Sahara...lol. He suggested the pellets because they don't eat in the area of the pellets, and if they accidently did eat one which is not likely since he said they don't care for them, it is just alfalfa which won't hurt them and they can dig in them etc. Since he takes good care of my herps, I'm gonna stick with his advice for now. My basking spots are holding at about 98 to 100 degrees....I changed it to a 30 watt flood light. Warm end is staying 87 to 88 degrees and cool about 78 degrees......low seventies at night.
