Is it normal for bearded dragons to prefer temperatures in the 90s as opposed to 100-110? I've found that since going back in her new tank she has been using the spots around 90-95F rather than 100-110F (measured via temp gun and thermometer).

However, I always recommend learning your dragon and doing what is best for your specific dragon.

For what it's worth, the chart posted is from the 70s or 80s, and isnt even about bearded dragons. Not to mention it's also been altered, and is not even the original chart from the study. I wish it would stop being posted as it's not really relevant when newer studies on actual bearded dragons have shown that they will bask at higher temps than that and achieve higher INTERNAL body temperatures than that.
