So I have heat lamps to keep my bearded dragons warm. And have recently discovered night lights aren't the best for them because the lights keep them up. However it gets to cold at night does any one know of a heater I could get to put in his cage? I found some for turtles and fish but none for bearded dragon. Any suggestions would be great!!!!

They have ceramic heat emitters that produce no light and i ddon't like to use them but if you are careful you can also use under tank heat pads

Do you know how cold it's actually getting? If it's not below 65F, you don't need supplemental heat. Dragons need a period at night where it cools down below daytime temps to sleep soundly, it's natural for them.

If it is, you can add a ceramic heat emitter in a properly rated, porcelain/ceramic based fixture, or a heat pad on a properly set up thermostat to restrict change of overheating.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
