Loki has a slightly heated cat bed that he absolutely loves. I got it for him to nap in so he's not terrorizing out laundry piles. One night i made the mistake of letting him sleep in it and ever since he's thrown apocalyptic fits if I try and make him sleep in his cage. He'll literally stay up all night banging on the glass - he also rips down his entire misting system which usually takes a few hours to repair.
Am I doing him any harm by letting him sleep in the cat bed (aside from turning him in to a spoiled brat)? I'm slightly worried about dehydration - I've heard of insufficient humidity leading to kidney failure in other species and I wasn't sure if it was a factor in tegus. He still spends a decent portion of the day in his cage with his misting system and huge water dish.
