Basking spot outside of viv?

[Beezer25]

Hi everyone, I've got two beardies and I've got a new full time job, and sometimes I'm working 10-12 hours a day. I was wondering if making a basking spot on the floor on my room would be ok because I feel bad having then cooped up all day in their tanks. If I can set this basking spot up, they'd be able to run around all day, and stay warm. Advice is appreciated.

As long as you feel safe letting them run around your room unsupervised and there is no way they can get lost, or hurt its fine. Its just like giving them a bigger tank assuming your room is safe. You need to be weary with where you place the basking bulb for 1. that it doesn't melt your carpet ( happened to me once ) 2. that the beardies can't actually touch it. 3. you don't mind poo in your room.

Thanks a lot Brandon.
I don't have carpet in my room and I'll make sure that they won't be able to touch it and poo isn't a problem.
