Outdoor enclosure

[himynameisawesome]

I want to make my bearded dragon a outdoor cage for him to live in during the hot months. How can I do this? I want him to be outside all the time during hot months. No fireflies where I live so one thing not to worry about. What other things should I worry about? And if I made him this outdoor cage I wouldn't have to worry about buying more light bulbs for a while. So how can I make this work?

Any outdoor insect is a problem with beardies, even a fly can be hazardous as you don't know what that fly is carrying with it. To make an outdoor viv you have to be sure nothing from the outside can get in to your beardie.

You also have to take into consideration that not every day is going to be hot enough for your beardie so you will still need lights, proper hides are a must as well since when it is hot your beardie will need a cooler place to go.

Your hide must be movable so that you can bring it inside when it rains or is too cool outside for your beardie.

Take all this into consideration before building an outside viv, I say all this because I made the mistake of doing that once. It didn't end that well

Ok thanks for advice and ill take everything you said into consideration but where I live in summer and spring it never gets below like 90 it's very hot where I live it doesn't rain too much except during monsoon season so yeah. I will make sure no bugs get into his enclosure.

Yup no bugs in the encloseur and make sure your beardie has plenty of hides if it gets that hot so he/she can get out of the sun. Also I would consider getting a big shallow bowl to put water in so your beardie can soak in it, don't want it to get dehydrated.
