Would it be ok to let my dragon out to roam around if my floors are 68 degrees? The room is actually 72.I don't have any carpet at all..Just hardwood floors..Thanks for any advice

It's fine as long as you don't mean roam around all day long. I'm assuming you just mean just for a bit, while you have him out of his tank. If you mean all day long or for hours at a time, then you need to set-up a Mercury Vapor Bulb with a basking spot/platform underneath it for him so that he gets both adequate UVB and basking light/heat. But if you just mean for a bit while you have him out of his tank, then yes, that's fine.

I agree that it's fine for a little while. When they get cold they tend to retreat to a secure spot and fall asleep. If they're out for more than a little while then offering a basking site as mentioned is a good idea. Here is how I have one of mine set up.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
