LED is fine for lighting/brightness (so long as its not pointing into the eyes or where your dragon would be inclined to stare at it) but just be aware it doesn't have any UVA so may not appear white and 'sunlike' to dragons like it does for us. I have an LED flood light in my enclosure (for plants) and its nice and bright, e doesn't seem to mind it at all. Also, you don't want to get ones that are very blue. 5-6.5K is about as cool a color temperature as you want to go (it is usually on the packaging).

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!
