Under the lighting and heating section, you mentioned for a Zoo Med T5 HO ReptiSun 10.0, the distance should be. Is that from basking area to uvb bulb? If that is true, isn’t that distance to long? The direction on the uvb fixture box says that the bearded dragon should be at least 6 inches away. Can you clarify this for me? For example, how tall is your basking spot from the ground if the bearded dragon needs to stand on top to absorb UVB for a 24 inch tall tank?

It is important to distinguish between two similar behaviors: head bobbing and head shaking. If he is bobbing his head once or twice per second, with large up and down movements of the neck, this is a normal behavioral trait implicated in asserting dominance and in mating.However, if your dragon is truly shaking his head in tiny movements many times a second, this could be cause of concern. Most likely, he is calcium-deficient and the most common reason for this is an inadequate exposure to UVB light.

Gotcha. What would you say is the proper day/night cycle in terms of how long lights be on for and at what times? I would not recommend giving your dragon a day/night cycle that differ from local rhythms so significantly. You should be fine to just offer salad first thing in the morning before you go to work. Bugs can also be offered in a dish first thing in the morning, or via a slow feeder like the Exo Terra “Termite Mound” cricket feeder. However, if you have to offer the bugs after you get home from work, that’s pretty late, but not the end of the world.
