So I live in Northern Michigan. During the summer, some days is hot and sometimes humid (80-90+ degrees) I’m just curious like when can I take squirt (my bearded dragon) outside to play. I’ve seen some people carrying around the dragons at pet smart and outside downtown. How long should he be outside? Would it be to stressfully for him?Should I get a harness? I just don’t wanna hurt him. He is pretty chill. He likes to sit on my chest/shoulder or on my dreads.he is two years old.

I bring my guy outside when it's warm out. Usually if it's over 65-70 or so and sunny. They can darken to absorb the sunlight and stay pretty warm even on cool days. Keep him close to you and watch out for birds overhead. If they get spooked they can dart off very quickly so a harness is often helpful but I don't always bother. A closeby human is usually enough to keep predators away. The natural sunshine is very good for them so I encourage sitting outside with them whenever possible.

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
