What happens if a reptile gets too cold?
Without external heat sources, all reptiles — snakes, lizards, turtles, and tortoises — become hypothermic, meaning their body temperature declines. As a result, they become less active, their digestion slows, their immune system doesn't function properly, and they become susceptible to secondary infections.
Why is my bearded dragon cold and not moving?
If you witness your bearded dragon not moving much, chances are their cage is a little too cool. It is imperative that you provide the proper temperature gradient within their vivarium to keep them happy and healthy.
Do blankets keep bearded dragons warm?
Bearded dragons love using blankets, but they don't get much from wrapping in bedding alone. Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures, meaning they cannot generate heat. Covering your bearded dragon with a blanket for too long can actually make it colder rather than warmer.
Will my bearded dragon run away?

How long can bearded dragons go without UV light?
A bearded dragon can go two days without UVB light. But, without Vitamin D, they can't absorb calcium properly, which results in a whole host of diseases weakening the bones and body of your pet, resulting in death in the worst cases.
How can I keep my reptile warm during a power outage?
