[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1920618, member: 81934"] I keep saying - CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING . What is the climate these pet bearded dragons were living in ? Florida is not exactly year round hot from what I'd read. [url=https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Florida/average-florida-temperatures-by-month.php]https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Florida/average-florida-temperatures-by-month.php[/url] that is quite similar to the temperature ranges on a monthly basis to that in the southern extremes of the natural range of wild bearded dragons. So these dragons if kept out doors will be responding the cold days and nights and reduced UV as the cool months approach. Brumation is keyed in the wild to - food availability ( in many places insects become very hard to find as does herbs and native fruits - in some areas it gets quite cold ( under 20 degC during the day ) , even frosty at night. While in other areas, food is abundant year round and it's warm year round, and hey guess what , reptiles like bearded dragons don't brumate in these areas. Case in point, we lived in Port Hedland for 3 years , I was a consultant engineer at the BHP's DRI full scale pilot plant , it's a location that has only two seasons , the DRY ( when it's hot and dry = winter and it's never cold at night ) and the WET (when it's very hot , and the monsoons arrive ).Wild (bearded) dragons and all other reptiles and amphibians are active year round there and were frequently seen around the site and town , and port and beach . People in Hedland who I met who had pet reptiles , nearly all kept the larger reptiles outdoors in pits . [/QUOTE]
