Is 110F too hot for my bearded dragon in an outdoor enclosure?

Question

Okay so I have a question nd its not me being neglectful of my beardie by any means necessary but it is okay if he spends most of the day in his outside cage. He had plenty of hiding spots nd shade if he needs it. Plus he has a water bowl he climbs in to cool of sometimes I will catch him in there lol just hanging out. What temp is to high for him to be in? We have been in the I think 110 is the highest this week. I brought him in for a few hrs til it cooled off tho.

The fact that you are asking the question demonstrates that you are not being neglectful, so no judgement here. Temperatures exceeding 100F can be dangerous for them, but it definitely depends of Loki's ability to hide in cool areas. If the enclosure allows for good airflow and the hiding places are cool (usually need to be somewhat underground and covered very well, then it would be fine to keep him in the outside enclosure. I would put a thermometer in the hiding places to see if the temp gets below 100F during these really hot days. If they don't get cool enough, then you may consider designing some cooler places to hide, or keeping him inside during the day when temps are above 100. I hope that helps and all is well with Loki.
