how long can beardies stand improper basking temps?

[furbyteeth]

earlier today, the bulb of gnomeo’s heat lamp broke for reasons im still trying to figure out, and i’ve been using his 30 watt night time bulb as a temporary solution. problem is, the hottest this can get his tank is 85°F. i’ll be going to walmart here soon to see if i can find any replacements, but if i don’t have any luck, will a year old dragon be okay like this for no more than 24 hours? and any suggestions for bulbs i can buy that aren’t specifically marketed for reptiles? thanks : )

You need to get it replaced right away - you can try a regular house hold bulb like a 75 watt indacascent -- no LED's- they do not produce heat-- start there get a basking temp and go from there
