Gods, I haven't been on here for many years. Anyway, recently picked up a bearded dragon who's constantly "glass" surfing. It's in apostrophes because the tank isn't technically made of glass.
It is a 100cm X 60cm x 30 cm opaque plastic tub. Temperatures are about 86F in the cool end and about 95 F at the hot end. One possible issue is the humidity which can't quite be helped because I live in a tropical country, it usually runs between 30 to 50% RH with the help of heat bulbs; otherwise it would hang around 70%. Other things that I can add is that he rarely uses his hidebox and he is a male based on observations for double hemipenis bulges and according to the previous owner. Anyone can identify a possible cause to his "glass" surfing?
Also, he is constantly smearing his waste matter all around as a result of these habits. Would sand or any other substrate make the task of cleaning significantly easier? I end up having to brush waste from his tail rather often.
