I have heard that Bearded Dragons can't feel heat on their bellies. I don't know if this is true or not. I have been behind the scenes at a local zoo. Their Bearded Dragons had large Kane heat mats in their habitat. They both were laying on the heat mats. I also am considering getting a hot rock. I know all about hot rocks, but this on has a rheostat on it and it has no hot spots on it. My Bearded Dragon's vet has given the ok to hot rock, because it is has great reviews and seems safe enough. But people have told me that they can be badly burned because they can't feel heat on their belly. If they can't feel heat on their belly how come people use under tank heaters. So I am really confused now and need help.
