Bearded Dragon Basking

 

Bearded Dragon Basking

Being a desert reptile, the Bearded dragon spend most of its time actively basking in a warm area. This is not only to meat his temperature requirements for normal physiological functioning (i.e. to digest its food), but also to absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun. Bearded dragon basking behavior can also be seen in captivity under the right circumstances.

Bearded Dragon Basking In Captivity

Bearded dragon basking behavior can be stimulated by supplying a basking area on one side of the vivarium. This can be done by placing a rock under a basking spotlight or by using a Bearded dragon heat rock. The immediate temperature on the surface of the rock should be about 40 ºC / 104 ºF with a temperature decrease away form the basking area. A basking rock with an overhead Bearded dragon basking lamp is a much more natural setup compared to when only bottom heating is used.
