Can Bearded Dragons Be Outside In The Summer If Its Humid?!?

[BeardedDragonLover11]

I live in Florida, and its very humid. (Around 70% - 80%). So I was wondering if he can be outside in the summer. I told my mom and she said that he probably can't breathe. Is this true?? Thanks everyone. Bye!!

It probably won't cause an issue if he isn't outside for too long, but it's on the high side for extended periods.

I know of several keepers who live in tropical coastal climates (that I expect are even more extreme than anything you'll find in Florida) , such North Queensland on the coast where there is a long hot very humid wet summer who let the beardies outside on sunny days. Even a couple of keepers who live in the Daintree area and near Cooktown and Cairns. Not all the homes up there are airconditioned either.
Lower limit of Florida is 25oN , this corresponds with Rockhamption here (right on The Tropic of Capricorn) and a long way north is Cairns at 15oS.

Not heard of these beardies suffering any ill effects from the high humidity up there in summer.

It's important to provide adequate shade and pick times in the day when the humidity is not quite as bad (like in the morning).

Thank you CooperDragon

And thank you too kingofnobbys!! Very informative and helpful both of you. I am not in a very humid part of Florida (Hopefully), and its less humid now, (hopefully again). Thank you. Thanks to you both my beardie is very very happy and healthy. (I know that I have been using "very very" in this paragraph/post, lol.) You both are very very helpful and will always be. Thanks again to both of you!! I will surely help you back sometime when you need it.
