Keeping beardies outside

[hph]

Just wondering if its ok to keep juv beardies outside in an aviary all year round. :?:

Depends wheather you mean Easterns or Centrals, Centrals can develope probs outside their natural range and NO juvinille herps should be 'cooled' untill they are of decent size.

In regards to cooling no juveniles until decent size...one breeder of many smaller dragons, monitors, etc keeps all his small dragons outside year-round in SA. He has fantastic success with his animals breeding and they are very healthy. Most of his original Painted Dragon adults are 5 years old...normally only living for 1 year in the wild.
