A thermostat is an electrical device connected to heating and/or cooling equipment to control their function in order to keep the effected temperature constant. Thermostats use a probe to 'detect' or 'read' the immediate temperature, where it then either activate or deactivate heat regulation sources.

To keep Bearded dragons as pet, additional accessories in the form of enclosure heating and lighting will be required. These accessories are vital in creation of a desert environment in which Bearded dragons will thrive.

Reptile hot rocks or heat rocks are great pieces of equipment that looks like natural desert basking rocks, but with a build-in electrical heaters and thermostats. Bearded dragon hot rocks serve as basking areas for these lizards that will stimulate natural basking behaviour.

Commercially available reptile aquariums are very popular housing enclosures for Bearded dragons. Aquariums are attractive looking, readily available and easy to keep clean. They are made from glass and can be obtained from most pet shops or can be home made.

Basking lamps make great heat sources for Bearded dragons. Using them correctly will create basking areas and create basking behaviour in these pets.
