I need help with lights!

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

Okay.. I do plan on upgrading to at least a 50 gallon. I will get as much as possible at the pet store and work on getting my mom to buy the lights as soon as possible. I will get the single dome fixture. Here is the basking bulb I use:

Yep that's good-- I used the 75 watt in my 20 gallon-- do what you can keep me posted on what you get and I will help you get it set up

Hey, I just found this on petsmart's website: https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/environmental-control-and-lighting/bulbs-and-lamps/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-reptile-lamp-14822.html
Do you have any idea of the size of it? It only says the wattage

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

Oh nvm. The 15 watt is 18 inches.

Would a T8 work fine inside the cage? Its the only one I see in the petstores inventory

KarrieRee · Oct 20, 2020

That's all they carry in the petstores normally - you can set the fixture width wise-- on the tank w/ no screen or clear plastic cover over or in between the bulb--- NO obstruction- basking decor needs to be directly underneath-- 6-8 inches from basking decor--

This is how I had my 20 gallon set up basking light clamped on end of tank and UVB width wise--

Alright! Thank you

Any single dome light fixture works, right? This is what I found: https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/environmental-control-and-lighting/light-fixtures/zoo-med-reptile-mini-deep-dome-lamp-37914.html

Can you post a pic of your entire set up as well as your beardie ?

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

I can but not at this moment. I can post a picture in a while though

Heres the pictures. Shes in a 20 gallon at the moment but by this christmas she should be in a 50 gallon with better lights

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

Do you guys think that my beardie will be okay with only the correct basking bulb and fixture until christmas when I can get the reptisun?

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

Also, do you guys have an idea why my beardie keeps going to the cool side of the tank and soaks her tail in her water??

KarrieRee · Oct 20, 2020

I would work on getting the UVB ASAP-- not sure till Christmas --- you can take her outside for good UVB if the temp is 65 or higher --- place her in a plastic tote NO glass for 15 minutes in direct/ partial shade -- do not leave her unattended or you can hold her on you --- do this everyday -- or every other --- do you have a digital probe thermometer for basking temps? I see no thermometer at all in the tank

Impawsiblesquad · Oct 20, 2020

Okay, I will start doing that. I am ordering a digital thermometer today. Right now all I have is a stick on...
