So in augest when I was extremely un experienced when it came to keeping bearded dragons, I thought it would be fine to take my like 1 month old outside for a few minutes. I had done it a few times before but this time he ended up jumping out of my hand into a bush and booking it. I ended up losing him and later that week the temperatures plummeted so I thought he would either be dead or completely gone. Anyway a few days ago my dad was working outside and found him sleeping next to some remay which is like a blanket for plants. So he was outside in Maine for about 3 months, it had gotten down to probably 15-20 at some point and it snowed pretty good a few weeks ago, plus it’s been in the 40s for basically that entire time. How did he survive that? He obviously is pretty skinny and didn’t grow at all, so it’s clear he had minimal food, but how did he survive the cold? Sure if he had been hiding in that remay this whole time it would have helped but not very much at all. And just to clarify he’s totally fine right now, he’s not sick, impacted, he’s eating and drinking fine and he’s grown in the past few days. He seems totally fine except for being hella small, I’m only slightly concerned if he has a respiratory infection because Maine has very high humidity all the time. My main question is, at what point do they freeze? The only article I had read that actually gave me an answer was saying they’d die at about 50 or something which I’m not sure about at all anymore. I just can’t find a straight answer anywhere, all that comes up is about husbandry.
