[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1994612, member: 31715"] TLDR: They absolutely can get too much sun. While sunlight provides benefits, it also can harm, just the same as for us humans. While heat/temperature are typically the only thing people think about when this concern arises, UV radiation is also a serious factor that can effect dragons. For instance, I just went outside with my Solarmeter (it's about noon my time right now) and the UVI was 7.8... Temperature is only mid 70s. So you can see how that could be dangerous, an owner focusing only on the temperature decides that their dragon can be out in the sun for a few hours, not realizing that their dragon is being exposed to dangerous levels of UV. While we have not seen a traditional case of sunburn, UV rays can be damaging to all living cells (humans/animals/plants/etc.) All this can be mitigated by having a setup outside that allows your dragon to come and go between shade and direct sunlight. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
