I've been worried about both my bearded dragons being housed in this tank. They are both lethargic, hardly ever moving onto the basking spot. I believe the temps in the basking spot sit around 85 and im unable to get them higher. I've been told this type of tank does not hold heat well, has poor insulation? However, I took out the female and soaked her in warm water for a good twenty minutes today and am still getting an unresponsive lethargic type of reaction from her. She lays there with her eyes closed and even when I do put her on the wood/brick area of the basking spot she moves back to the shaded sand area and goes back to sleep.



Not sure what to do about this. Neither of the beardies are eating their salad, and only the male is eating one or two crickets a day.
