So I’m going to be getting my first bearded dragon soon and of course I’m nervous. I have a UVB light, but I’m not sure if I’ll need it mounted into the tank or if it’s fine on top.
Right now I have a T5 Reptisun 5.0 bulb in the tank and I have a 10.0 waiting on the side if I need to switch it over. I’ve read that you can have the hood on the top of the screen, but it’ll reflect half of the UVB lighting. Is my setup fine? Should I switch over to the stronger bulb?
My second question is can anyone recommend a better basking bulb? The one I have only heats up the tank to about 85 degrees farienheight.
My tank is about 36in Long x 16in wide x 18in high.
