    can beardies brumate in the summertime?

    Our little guy has a great appetite, but chooses to crawl into his cave, and stay in the cool. I haven't been running his light during the day, due to his outdoor exposures. Am I forcing him into brumation because of this, or is this normal? :study:

    Brumating beardie's temperature

    Our adult beardie, KittyKitty, seems to be in brumation. He's in his cave and all appears well. However he's very cool to the touch. How can I be sure he's not getting too cold, and should I still spray a mist in the tank for humidity? :study:

He is seemingly healthy in every way, and loves to be gently rocked to sleep at night and sits on my shoulder while I'm at the computer. I have two questions: (1) is it common for bearded dragons to have...

    Can crickets harm my beardie?

    Hi! I am brand new to these wonderful little creatures, and my new dragon (KittyKitty) is an adult male who LOVES attention and sleeps on my shoulder in the evening. People are telling me all kinds of things; most of them I can figure out, but someone told me that if I keep crickets in his...
