my 150 watt basking bulb went out and i wont be able to replace it until 6 this afternoon. im using a 100 watt right now but i know its not going to get the spot hot enough. should i not feed reggie today because his temps wont be right? i dont want him to have trouble digesting things because its not warm enough. hes 3 months old and normally gets fed bug 4 or 5 times a day and a salad everyday.

He should be fine - replace his bulb when you can today and leave it on for digestion to start like 2 hrs - go ahead and feed him tho

You can give him a smaller meal around mid afternoon [ 3-4 p.m. ] if you're sure that you will be getting the higher watt bulb later. You can also cover part of his enclosure with a heavy towel or small blanket, just be sure it doesn't cover the bulb or become a fire hazard.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
