When I bought my bearded dragon a few days ago, I got a 20 gallon terrarium kit. (He’s a juvenile. Im going to upgrade when he gets bigger.) But I now realize I should’ve just bought the tank & lighting separately. The basking light that came with it is only 75 watts, so I plan on buying a 100 watt light because my thermometer is saying that his basking area is only 92 degrees. (I am not using the stick on ones that came in my kit, I already bought a new one.) Any advice on what light I should buy for my 20 gallon tank? Also, I’ve been reading that coil UVB lights are not useful, which is of course what came in this kit, so what fixture & uvb light do you guys recommend? My last question is about him gaping. Although the temperature reads 92, he still opens his mouth with his head up towards the light sometimes. If I get a 100 watt light, is this going to be too hot for him/his enclosure?
