I wasn’t going to post about this stuff yet, but it looks like many are missing the point.

A range of temperature is vital for these lizards, it's important for there metabolism to function properly, this not only for the babies but adults and juveniles alike.

Here’s an example these are from the same clutch, one was raised in the 68f-75f range, the other was raised in the 75f-95 range. They where fed exactly the same foods and kept well hydrated, I stop the experiment because the smaller one is showing sings of improper development, no need for me to experiment any farther, the results are obvious.

Earlier I asked about the feeding habits of baby capra’s, under my care they feed twice a day, I was surprised to hear that your capra’s also eat twice a day, have you changed your husbandry sins I started posting?

Anyway the point is a dayly raise in temperature is vital for these dragons.
