Depending on the age of the dragon you get you may have to lower your basking spot a little. I was advised to keep our baby between 100 - 105 degrees. Not a biggy since you are getting all ready before hand, which I must say is BRILLIANT of you! Wish I had been a member here before I brought our baby home. Good Luck with choosing your Beardie, can't wait to see pics!

Would i need to go to a lower wattage? Or maybe move the basking hide/rock a little further away from the middle of the lamp? Oh could i use a regular house bulb for a basking bulb or does it have to be a special basking bulb. I do have red nocturnal lights do those work as basking bulbs? Sorry for the stupid questions. Also what side should the hide be on the hot side or the cool side?
