Question
This is the first night my bearded dragon is in my home and she hasn't slept a wink. Is there somthing I can do to make her more comfy, or something Im doing wrong?

Any suggestions would be amazing.

Thnks, dez

Answer
Hello Desiree,

Well, are you keeping lights on during the night for your bearded dragon?  She is probably wound up from being in a new home too though.
They need it completely dark at night.  No colored lights, no lights, period.  If you need additional heating at night, then use a ceramic heat emitter.  That emits only heat but no light.  
You could also put in a nice warm fleece blankie for her.  It is soft & she might want to cuddle in that.  How old is she?
