Keeping your BD out of its tank?

Whats a good time frame to keep your bearded dragon out for play and bonding away from it's heat and uvb. Whats a safe time frame how long do u keep yours out.

I am kind of new on here so I can't answer your question, but here is what I do, About bedtime I take my little one out to play, he has about 15-25 mintues of play time before he climbs on my hand to go to sleep. I just figure if he sleeps all night without heat on him and my house is never under 70 degrees, he can handle a lot of time out playing. Maybe I am wrong and I am sure someone else can tell you more, but thats what I have been doing. I just make sure I wait til about 2 hours after he eats last to get him out to play. Hope this helps a little.

As long as they don't get too chilly I think you can have them out for pretty much as long as you want. That is if they've had enough time to eat and bask to digest. I try and have my one out for at least 30ish minutes on the weekdays, and a couple hours or more on the weekends.

When I take my beardies out with me they are usually out for hours. When we go to the gun store or over friends house it's usually an all day trip. I just usually make sure they stay warm. The longest that I had them out with me was for about 10 hours. By the end of the day Midna was asleep on my stomach at my friends house, lol.

It really depends on the weather for me, Its been very cold over winter, so i haven't really had them out at all :|
Mine bed down in a corner when they are ready to go back up stairs , normally within 15-30 minutes
