Bearded Dragon Thermometers & Hygrometers
Bearded dragon thermometers and hygrometers play an important role in your bearded dragon's health, because bearded dragons need to live in specific ranges of both temperature and humidity, with free access to both cooler and warmer temperatures. Thermometers and hygrometers provide you the information you need to monitor these environmental factors. Here are some facts to know about bearded dragon thermometers and hygrometer:
- Thermometers: Use two thermometers inside the terrarium to monitor the temperature gradient in the tank; place one under the basking lamp and one on the cool side of the tank, with both near where your beardie rests in those areas
- Hygrometer: A hygrometer is necessary for measuring humidity levels; It needs to be placed inside the tank following manufacturer's instructions for placement
- Format: Consider that some people believe digital thermometers or hygrometers give more accurate readings, and some measuring devices combine the thermometer and hygrometer
- Ideal ranges: The temperature should range from about 75–85 degrees Fahrenheit on the cool side, while the basking side should range from about 90–100 degrees Fahrenheit in the tank. It can drop to the low- to mid-70 degrees Fahrenheit at night, but it should not be any cooler. Humidity levels can range from 30–50%

Frequently Asked Questions about Bearded Dragon Thermometers & Hygrometers
Do bearded dragons need a hygrometer?
Yes, a hygrometer is needed to help monitor humidity levels inside a bearded dragon terrarium. Ideally, the humidity levels should be between 30–50%, primarily for optimal skin and lung health.
What type of thermometer is better for bearded dragon?
The best kind of thermometer for bearded dragons may come down to personal preference. Some people believe that a digital thermometer with probes is ideal. Digital thermometers with probes may be preferred for their accuracy, ability to be placed in different areas of an enclosure, as well as having an easy-to-read screen. Others prefer analog, or dial-style, thermometers.
Do you put a thermometer in the hide or basking spot?
A thermometer is not needed in a hide, but one is needed in the basking spot and the cool side of the terrarium. Place a thermometer under the basking spot, near where your beardie rests, and also place a thermometer on the cool side of the tank, near where your beardie rests. The temperature in a hide doesn't represent the temperature in the terrarium.
What temperature is best for bearded dragons?
The best temperature for bearded dragons depends on the time of day. For their basking spot, the area should be ranging from 90–100 degrees Fahrenheit. For the cool side of the enclosure, it should be between 75–85 degrees Fahrenheit. At night, the temperature can drop to the low- to mid-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Turning off the basking light at night might be all you need to do to get the temperature to drop.
