Bearded Dragons are built for the heat. Their optimal basking temperature is 42C. In captivity, we must provide large enough enclosures to offer 40C hotspots and cooler refuge. Often, bearded dragons don’t receive the basking temperatures they need, which forces them to sit under the lamp all day. Does your bearded dragon do this? If so, what temperatures are you providing? #beardeddragon #beardie #pogonavitticeps | Exotics Keeper
