Free-range tips?

I'd like to let my new beardie out (in the house - I don't think I'll put it down outside) more than I did the last one. What are some guidelines for indoor free-range beardie time? Should I let it roam free? Or must it be closely supervised? How do people keep them from hiding under furniture?

You can use pool noodles to place around furniture - set up a basking area on the floor like a mvb in a certain area for them to go to to warm up -

Interesting idea! How long is it ok for them to be out for? Does it matter as long as they have a warm spot?

I heard that the max time out is 2 hours but Ive only done 15 mins or so and I keep him with me. If youre going to set up a ramp and all so he can get back to his basking spot/enclosure then thats different. I'd suggest being right there...too much can go wrong in that big old world lol.
