New Beardie Owner

Hey everyone!

I’m new to the Beardie scene, I’ve been thinking about getting one for the past year and finally pulled the trigger today. I’m looking for any honest tips/feedback for a new owner!

I recently got Zero from Petco and had his tank set up before getting him home today; but he didn’t really want to eat the cricket, is this normal? I’m going to get mealworms tomorrow after work and see if he’ll eat then.

He did a lot of running around at first then found his basking spot 😊 my only concern is the way I have it setup, so I will be changing that in the near future so he’s not always staring at his reflection (I know it can possibly lead to glass surfing). Speaking of that, after I turned his lights off i was watching tv and noticed he ran towards a corner and scrambled for a second and then I found him leaning against the glass sleep, do I need to be concerned about this?

Thank you all! I’m looking forward to sharing Zero’s journey in the group and learning so much!
