I have a question. My beardie always falls asleep early like around 7:00 pm or sometimes even earlier and always wakes up like at 6:00 am or 5, so my question is : is this normal, i mean from what ive read in other threads most beardies would go to sleep around 10m or 9, idk maybe is because of his age. Any opinions as of why this happens? Also I always leave his night lamp on at night since sometimes I'm not awake at the time he wakes up sometimes I'm tempted to turn it off for the night and wrap him in a blanket the whole night until I come and turn on the light :/
Leaving a night light on could keep the dragon from being able to sleep well. Unless your temps fall below 65 at night there is no need to keep a heat lamp on, if they do fall below 65 you may consider buying a CHE which puts out no light. Dragons kind of develope their own sleeping pattern, even though both of my dragons have the same set up and are both on timers to cut on/off their lights at the same time they both sleep differently. One will start trying to sleep at 7 ish even though his lights do not turn off until 8, the other will stay awake until 9ish even though her lights go off at 8. They both wake up at different times, my lights come on at 6:45AM, one will get right on up then, the other I actually have to take the blanket away from him to get up.
