Was taking Draco out for some sun today, and noticed the pavement was a bit too hot for my fingers. He stayed there for a good fifteen minutes, didn’t move at all, no sign of discomfort afterwards.

But I just wonder if anyone knows at what temperature it becomes concerning? I’ve seen beardies getting nasty burns on their stomach and I wanna be cautious of that. I appreciate any discussions!

Burns are not the only concern, they can injure internal organs also. Use the back of your hand or bare feet to check the temp, the palms of your hands are tougher and harder to judge heat by. If it's to hot for the back of your hand or bare foot, it's to hot for your beardie.

If you cant stand it w/ your feet or fingers its definitely too hot for him --- does he have any marks on the stomach?
