Hi, my beardie is about 10.5 inches long. It is summer time here. He wakes up at around 7am and typically begins to put himself to bed sometime between 5pm and 7pm. So he is typically awake for 10-12 hours a day. Is this enough time? I have his lights on a 13.5 hour schedule (7am to 8:30pm), should I change them? Everything else about him seems quite healthy. He is growing fast, having regular healthy poops, is active and alert throughout the day, likes his veggies (carrots and bell peppers are his favorites), and seems to enjoy being handled. Should I be concerned about how much he sleeps or is that relatively normal for young dragons? Maybe my dragon just likes to sleep?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
