What Temperatures Do Bearded Dragons Need at Night?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBearded dragons live in the desert, so they are used to the high temperatures there and actually do better in them. The temperature in the Australian deserts can drop by a significant amount once nightfall arrives. Bearded dragons have gotten used to the cooler temperatures at night, so they hide away during this time to rest and get better. These temperatures should be emulated at night in your enclosure at around 70-75\u00b0F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you live in a very hot climate, you may be concerned that the ambient temperatures at night may be at levels that are too high for your bearded dragon. Bearded dragons in the wild prefer warmer climates. There are many different approaches you can take to bring down the temperature of the enclosure as well as your dragon. Your tank should have enough vents and airflow so that warm air doesn’t stay in one place for too long. You can encourage good airflow with fans and\/or air-conditioning units in the room the enclosure is kept. You could also use a misting spray to directly cool off your dragon or the enclosure they are housed in. When you mist your plants, you should do it either very early in the morning or very late in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you missed, the enclosure with too much water during the hours that the heat lamp is on, the relative humidity inside the enclosure will rise to a level that is unhealthy for desert-dwelling species. While we do want to create a natural drop in temperatures, we do not want to create an environment that is so cold that it will shock your reptile and possibly cause significant health issues. It should be kept in mind that temperature overnight should not drop below 65\u00b0F.It goes without saying that warm evenings are not the norm in every region of the world. There is a high probability that the night will bring significantly lower temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nDo bearded dragons need heat at night?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere is a possibility that bearded dragons do not require heat at night. If the temperature in your home drops well below 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night, you may need to invest in some heating. If your house does tend to get a little chilly at night, we suggest purchasing a blue bulb with 75W of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I keep my bearded dragon tank warm at night?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFollowing steps should be taken to keep bearded dragon tank warm at night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nRemove the bearded dragon from its enclosure and secure it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Heat the water to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).<\/li>\n\n\n\n Bathe your bearded dragon in warm (not hot) water, making sure that its vents and skin can absorb an adequate amount of the liquid.

If the temperature in your room stays above 65 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the night, you won’t need to use the heater. The thermostat that people normally use to control heaters is set to activate the CHE whenever the temperature falls below 70 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFigure:<\/strong> Bearded dragon (https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/bearded-dragon-cub-pogona-2068975)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The dry, desert-like regions of Australia are where bearded dragons first emerged on the continent.
