I am building my beardie a new habitat but am having problems finding the correct lighting equipment. I would like to be able to install the lighting on the inside of the tank instead of having the lights sit on top with a mesh screen.
1. Is there anywhere I can purchase lights that are meant for inside the tank installation? I mainly need suggestions on basking light. I have a uv strip light installed on the inside.
2. Is there any kind of protective screen that needs to be put over the lights so my dragon doesn't accidentally touch the basking lights?
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
You could mount a ceramic fixture rated above the wattage of your bulb. That should be installable right inside the enclosure. I'd build the enclosure high enough so that your dragon can't get within 12'' of the basking bulb and that should be sufficient for safety.
