Just make sure the beardeds can get away from the heat. You can run diagonal, cut in half, pvc tubes into the ground, so that the beardeds can retreat where its cool/humid.

In texas, uromastyx would do great. They are much more heat tolerant than beardeds. The only problem is that they are very good at making tunnels. The sides of the pen must be sunk pretty deep.

P. henrylawsoni would also do well where you live.

Most people would be surprised of what outdoor beardeds can eat and get away with. I have wittnessed them eating bees, wasps, velvet ants(flightless wasp), and black widows without any issues. I don't reccomend intentionally feeding any of these insects(or any ??? insect). Dragons will also eat edible plants around the non-edible ones. They are true survivors.

I have never seen any mite on outdoor dragons here. Im willing to bet the dragon mite is species specific.
