Is this light ok

Would the zoomed mini 10.0 bulb be good for a bearded dragon and would it fit a 4 by 2 by 2?


This is the bulb.

No----------here is what we recommend on this forum--
Which UVB light should I use?
The best UVB light is a ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent tube HO (Or Arcardia 12% in the UK). Compact or coil bulbs do not emit the proper amount of UVB light for a bearded dragon, and should not be used. Other brands, such as the Zilla Desert Series and ReptiGlo have been known to cause eye problems and other health issues with bearded dragons, and should be avoided. The reason that some UVB lights (Zilla, ReptiGlo, coils/compacts, ect.) are considered dangerous is because the wavelength of UVB that they emit is shorter and more intense than the wavelength of the "safe" lights (ReptiSun, Arcadia).
UVB lights should be replaced every 6 months. The T5’s are a strong bulb and only need to be replaced once a year – the T 8 every 6 months--- where as the T 8 are not as strong—they need to be placed inside the tank the T 5 10.0 bulb approx 10-11 inches from basking spot – the T 8 approx 6-8 inches from basking spot—the cover needs to be off the bulb for full effect of the UVB rays--
Please ask more questions about husbandry if you need to --- it is very important for the health of your beardie

Thanks. I've been trying to get my beardie a new light for a while(when I first to him I got a non brand uvB light ).

They need that light so I would recommend you get it soon--- the T 8 fixture can be bought at Petco Petsmart -- the T 5 will take a flat fixure and can be purchased on line from like Amazon etc just make sure its the 10.0 bulb and not the 5.0 bulb --

Also should a 7 month old be 1 foot long?

Idk - they grow at different rates-- but 12 inches sounds good for a 7 month old--
