Question
Good morning I got up today and turned the light on for my son bearded dragon and when i went back to look at him he was shaking all over.  I got him one month ago he is still a baby about 4-5 inches long.   This has never happened before what should i do

Answer
Hello Paytra, I apologize for the late reply I had to take care of a family emergency, it might be too cold in the tank for him at night try using a night heat lamp. Some people say that the red lights don't work for beardies and that they still know its light. So instead of a red heat lamp try getting a ceramic heat emitter it does not produce light only heat and it works really well with lower risk of electrical fire then the normal heat lights. It plugs into a regular light socket and needs a ceramic light fixture. Also be sure you are using UV lighting and feeding correctly. Go to your favorite search engine and type in Bearded Dragon Care you should get plenty of sites.

Another great site I recommend to all Bearded Dragon Owners is

Hope I was of some help good luck!
