lighting and 10 gallon tank... help please

[elmore91011]

My Bella is still little, she'll be 6 weeks tomorrow in fact=) Anyways for now I have her a 10 gallon home what lighting do you suggest for her. I want the best for her and have been reading previous post but haven't run across lighting ideas for a 10 gallon tank. I have noticed the reptisun 10.0 is highly recommened but haven't found the light available for a 10 gallon size... any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance!

The problem with ten gallon tanks is that they're too small to be able to have proper temps. Not to mention it would be too small to fit all the lights on top. Your dragon will not be able to properly regulate her body temp in a ten gallon. It would be much easier and healthier to move her into at least a 20 gallon long

I agree with the above.

You need the uvb and the heat light either way, so might as well make it easy and just get a 20. Or even better, get a 40g breeder.
