hyper beardie

Question
my male beardie rex is 8mnths old,suddenly over the last 4 days he has spent his days running up n down the front of the viv n standing upright against the glass,i thought hhe just wanted out,but when i get him out it isnt long before escape mode kicks in and he again wants to run away,he is eating his greens and worms but leaving the locust alone which are usually his choice meal everytime. With hope rex not poorly. THANKS

Answer
Hello Jackie,

Well, at 8 months, he is probably hitting sexual maturity hormonally speaking that is, not physically.  They get like that when their hormones start elevating.  They become very active running back & forth what seems like constantly.
Have you double checked the temperatures in his tank to make sure it is not getting too hot since it is getting hot outside?  
Are you using a UVB light, & if so, what type & brand?  Is it a flourescent tube bulb or a compact or coil light?
Try to get him out several times a day to let him use some of his energy up.  He should calm down pretty soon.
Just beardie proof the room to where he can't get underneath anything & he can safely run around.
