Is it good enough?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if I had the appropriate lighting for my beardie DOG. I have a zilla daylight 100 watt basking bulb in a normal dome lamp. I also bought a zilla 50 watt mini reptile fixture UVB lamp with the 50 watt lights that came in it. Are these good for DOG? And how should I set these lights up on my cage. It's a ten gallon cage.
Thanks. Lewie

The basking bulb can be just a CLEAR household bulb. As long as your basking spot is between 100*-110*F. You may have to play w/ different watts to get it right.
If you have one of the coil UV lights you're going to be advised to replace it with a tube one
Coil Bad- http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-ReptiSun%C2%AE-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B00061V53Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1341884077&sr=8-3&keywords=reptisun
Tube Good - http://www.amazon.com/Repti-Sun-10-0-UVB-Bulb/dp/B0009YHSX4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1341884139&sr=8-4&keywords=reptisun+10
Be sure with the tubes you don't get a HO (High output) bulb if you have a regular (NO- nominal output) fixture.
The problem w/ the coil bulbs is they are known to cause eye problems w/ the dragons.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
