How long can my bearded dragon go without heat during power outage?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a bearded dragon & my power went out due to very high winds. We live in Maryland where right now the temperature is 58°. Been 50-60° lately. I have no way to get her heat. Will she be ok? If yes, how long can she go without heat?

You can put a warmwater bottle inside the terrarium or one or two coke bottles filled with hot water. Make sure you put a towel around the hot water bottles, so your beardy does not come into direct contact with the bottles and gets burned. This should tide her over until you have power again.
