No! Unlike hognose snakes and most other pet reptiles, bearded dragons are diurnal. This means that they are the most active during the day, which is another reason why they’re so great for beginners. Feel free to play with or feed your pet bearded dragon during the daytime without fear of ruining their sleep cycle or causing undue stress.

This is a huge factor in animals.

Unlike hamsters, mice, rats, and other small animals, Bearded Dragons are up and awake during the day! This can seal the deal for some people, because the animals I have listed are all active at night. This can make it difficult for the owner to interact or bond with their pet. Here a few animals that are nocturnal

-Rats
-Hamsters
-Hedgehogs
-Leopard Geckos
-Sugar Gliders
-Gerbils
-Mice
-Guinea Pigs
-Other reptiles

This is another reason that bearded dragons are great for kids!
