Hi, we got a new bearded dragon yesterday - perhaps I'm just an overly concerned new parent! But will he move if he gets too hot, or should I move him? He is peacefully been sleeping on top of a vine in the cage near the heat lamp since 6pm, here is a pic, sorry for quality but I didn't want to wake him. The lamp is suspended from the roof (we have a small child so preferred to have the lamp within the enclosure). The temp near the lamp is 35.6, thermostat set at 37. Its a 4ft enclosure, so there is plenty of room, but do they self regulate this young and move?

Yeah mate he will. The heat livens them up. If he's just sleeping under it it might not be hot enough.
