I wouldn't put the mirror into your dragon's cage, especially if he is a male. Male bearded dragons can be very territorial and if they think there is another male around, they could become aggressive, stressed, stop eating, etc. Best not to have the mirror.



I wouldn't let your dragon go outside alone, even if he is good at following your dog in and out. It is just too easy for harm to come to your dragon unsupervised. Even eating the wrong kind of bug (fireflies expecially) can prove fatal to your dragon. Also, once outside and out of sight, there is no way to be sure no harm comes to your dragon, whether he gets run over because he follows your dog across the street or sidewalk, becomes lost or injuried by other dogs or cats (not to mention birds such as gulls, crows, etc). Somebody could see him and snatch him up as well as many other possibilities.



It is fine to have your dragon outside or roaming the house, as long as you are there to watch him all the time he is out of his cage. Especially if he goes outside for the above reasons. With you there, you can act to protect your dragon from what ever danger comes along.
