Hi again. The U.V isn't sitting on the glass so it is getting to him 100%, I took the glass lid away that fish tanks have below the lights as it has a timber lid so the Beardy can't escape so the glass wasn't needed .

I have a digital thermometer and my readings are O.K (I believe), high 30's (38*) under the basking lamp and 21ish down the cool end where he is sitting on his now famous branch. The heat doesn't escape because I have a timber canopy with ventilation and my dig thermo tells me the lowest temp it reaches overnight is 21*.
I have a dish with mealworms and greens and water in it, it is a dish with three compartments in it. Plus there is a cricket wandering around the tank that escaped him.
My substrate is reptile bark from the reptile store not sand so I can't check for prints at all.

QUESTIONS: Should I get him off the branch and try and get him to eat? Or am I best to just leave him alone to sleep? How long will this last?

Thanks heap for the expert opinions I really appreciate the help.
