I take naps with Dexter on the couch all the time. I put her on my chest under the heated blanket and she usually falls right asleep. I try to put my hands close to her so I can feel her if she walks away. The other day I fell asleep with her on the pillow next to my head, I thought she fell asleep but my boyfriend snapped a photo and she was wide awake just sitting there watching me!
How PRECIOUS what a loving mom you are! Sounds like Bella and l.

I've never fully slept with my beardie but he likes to snuggle my chest and take naps when I take him out

He ends up sleeping on my arms too and we'll take naps together

This is such an old post! I don’t sleep with Dexter or any of the dragons anymore. I had a friend that took a quick nap with hers and she rolled over on it and didn’t realize it and the dragon couldn’t get out from under her and she suffocated. It’s too easy for something to go wrong. We think we know what would happen but we really don’t. So it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I sleep with mine every night. Usually he will just sleep under the pillows I have placed for him, but sometimes he likes to cuddle, which I don't like because he is to prickly. Every night in his cage he keeps from falling asleep and waits for me to come get him....he just follows me with his eyes knowing it's about that time. My wife hates it, but luckily he stays on my side ;)
What a wonderful DAD you are!

I agree I know we love our beardies and want to be close with them but your right These horrible accidents that can be prevented!

Just an FYI, bearded dragons don't have many nerve endings on their belly so if something gets too hot for them, they don't know that they need to move or get burned. That's why heating pads aren't recommended for them.

I would let my beardie sleep on me, but I'm afraid I would crush her. But I get her out before bedtime and let her sleep on my chest for a bit, she gets a blanket every night and sometimes one of my T shirts.

awww that's so cute :D
I don't really sleep with Gin per se, but I do occasionally take him out of his viv at night if he wakes up and starts scratching at the walls and watch youtube videos with him until he falls asleep :)
