Light Cycle

[Edayy]

I currently have my beardie light cycle on from 6am to 10pm. I live in Washington state. When do I cut back on his day cycle ?

If you don't need the dragon to brumate or breed, I'd keep it on the current photoperiod.

In what situation would you need your dragon to brumate??

I've been told by breeders that getting a dragon to brumate is believed to increase their reproductive productivity. I don't believe if it's a companion animal and you are not really interested in breeding , that brumation is necessary.

None of my BT skinks, beardies or pet water skinks have ever brumated. I simply keep the photoperiod long , and the temperatures about the same all year round.
