twitching can also be a sign of vit b1 deficiancy,do you feed frozen veggies? you should also switch to a 8.0 bulb,5.0 isn't quite enough UVB for a beardie.

Hi
5.0 not enough??
i used them zalready 5 years they r good for beardies.
you only need to hang them close by in the 12 inch zone .
farther away then 12 icnh it wil not give good uv.
but you need replace him every 6 month for best results.
i must say i tested out even the mercury vapour diferent brands .
many lights burned out and broke ,i stil like the reptisun 5.0 .
i agree with spook see a vet
