I was using a mvb as a heat source for my bearded dragon, which only emitted about 90-95 degrees of heat when it was a dangerous 10 inches away. I realized i had to find a better heat source. I went to my local pet store and looked at the basking bulbs which were $20-$30. So what i want to know is, can i use a regular house hold bulb as a basking bulb or does it need to be a special bulb for pets. My dragon is already getting all her essential vitamins so it all comes down to heat. The bulb i'm planning on using is a regular 75w halogen flood bulb that emits heat from 100-107 degrees at about 10 inches away. Is this ok?

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 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
