Without the correct temps, especially the high basking temps...all that good food going in will not get digested properly and organ functions will be trying to run on less than ideal capacity. Nutrients are lost and illness sets in. Don’t use heat rocks as beards mainly absorb heat from above. | Without the correct temps, especially the high basking temps...all that good food going in will not get digested properly and organ functions will be trying to run on less than ideal capacity.

| + | **Bearded dragons should will need a different set of temperatures during brumation. This should be done at the first signs that they are beginning to brumate which often begins about the time cool weather is upon us (i.e. sleeping more, eating less). Allowing the temps to drop slowly over a two week period to approx. 10-15 degrees is not only normal, but healthier for a beardie during this period. | ||
