UVB should be directly over where the dragon basks.. preferably in the tank so as not to lose any..

you could prob. read up, but I've read from some posters that the coil can be harmful to the beardie's eyes.. look in the archives for posts on that..

Repti SUN 10.0 TUBE

6-8" away from basking spot
NO screen between light and BD

No need for night light, if its red or another color then it can do damage

All the info is in the cage sheets at the top of the forums

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!
