So my son wants a baby bearded dragon for his birthday. We've researched all of this like crazy, but I'm still a bit confused. Bare with me....
OK. My tank is a 75 gallon. It is 4 feet long by 21 in high, by 18 in deep. I decided on a 36in fixture and light. Does that seem right?
I ordered this light fixture:
American Fluorescent 36" White 1-Light 25 Watt T8 Plug-In Undercabinet Light
Here's the link----

And I am about to order this light to go in it:
Zoo Med OS36 T8 ReptiSun UVB 10.0 HO
Here's the link ----

Would those be appropriate?
Also...what is the best thermometer to get?
Also I see Jess said to just get a 50-75 watt bright white light or flood light for the basking area. There are so many different kinds of lights and many say soft, or halogen, etc. Would the following one work?

And if not, any suggestions??
I am on overload with all this information and maybe I'm overthinking it, but I just want to make sure we make the best decisions for our new pet. Thank you in advance. I know that's a lot of questions!
