Question

Please answer this question using physics formula below:

Why do bearded dragon keep their mouth open in order to regulate their body temperature? We have to use this formula to show how much water they evaporate.

Fomula:

Q= mL

Q/t = mLv/t

Answer 1

There are two types of light Source Given in the cage of the Bearded Dragon to maintain Temperatue

a) Primary Source: A primary heat source is necessary to keep the temperature of the entire enclosure within the proper range. A series of incandescent lights over the cage is one of the best heat sources. At night, these lights will need to be turned off and another heat source may be needed depending on the ambient temperature. A heating pad placed under the cage or nocturnal reptile incandescent light bulbs which produce heat, but little visible light, can be used. For larger enclosures, a space heater or separate room thermostat can be used to keep the room at the appropriate temperature. Be sure to place smoke detectors/fire alarms in rooms with lights or other artificial heat sources.

The nocturnal reptile incandescent light bulbs typically consumes

b) Secondary Source : A secondary heat source creates additional heat in specific areas of the enclosure to provide your Dragon with an essential temperature gradient. To best supply this gradient, the secondary heat source should cover only 25-30% of the enclosure's surface. For adult Dragons, the secondary heat source could be a incandescent bulb in a ceramic base, securely mounted where the animal cannot touch it.



Now assuming the Total amount of heat Required = Heat generated by Primary Source + Heat Generated by second source =





NOTE This is all based on the assumption that the data on the Source website is correct.
