you cant see the UV tube or heat lamp but they are there i promise Smiley
He also keeps trying the scratch at the brick edges and looks like he is ether trying to eat them or licking them is this normall?

The layout looks good.  Just to make sure, can he get within 6 inches of the UV light?

Beardies tend to lick everything but I've heard the licking of bricks can be a nutritional deficiency.  What are you feeding him and what supplements are you using?

I thought it might be a nutritional thing, I've only ever seen it in young beardies in a particular petshop.
They have a full grown one there in an enclosure thats so small he can't even stretch fully lengthways.

Thanks Smiley
I was feeding mealworms Sad
I Didn't no they could harm my Bruno so now I'm feeding crickets and as the odd treat silk worms.
I sprinkle the veg and crickets with nutrobal
Not sure if it is the best supplement and if anyone has any ideas plz tell me Smiley

Oh ok Smiley  I supplement by putting ten or so crickets in a plastic 'cricket tub' or bag, adding a pinch of nutrobal and shaking them lightly until they are all coated. Once he has eaten his calcium bugs I just feed him as many as he wants as normal. You only have to do this for one feeding a day.
