Yes you can as long as its 100% pure aloe and you dont let them bask with it on.I usually do it right before lights out after a bath and by morning its pretty much gone but if there is any there you should wipe it off before allowing them to bask or they could get burned.

Well there really isnt a reason to use it unless they are shedding.I would only use during shed.

Actually, I would be careful using the plant because I tried it on Sabrina and the area turned red, almost like it was bleeding under the skin and it looked pretty scary. I won't ever use the plant juice again. I prefer the Aloe Vera gel which clear and comes in a tube. You have to make sure it is 100% with no alcohol or fragrance in it. And, like Vicky said, you can't put them under their lamps after it is applied or it could cause a nasty burn.

Wow, I have always used the plants but I take the outer skin off because it has stickers on it and just the jell on the inside on Semi. Hmmm, I will most definitely look for redness the next time I use it. All the tube stuff is not just aloe vera though or that I could find so I had to resort to a plant which I kill but the last plant has lasted 6 months. It has a cooling effect so it would make the beardie feel cooler. They should not bask with it on, though. I always bath first thing in the morning and applied it at bedtime. We use aloe vera for sunburns and if we burn ourselves cooking.

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
