Hi

your dragon can be kept in the garden, if the weather allows and if she's safe from predators. She needs a place to shelter in case of rain and cold.

I would however suggest you get a cage and lights ready, it's gettting quite nippy already and you should keep her inside for the winter.

Dragons need roughly 12 hours of light and heat. it's fine to turn off the lights and heat for night time.
