[QUOTE="nucknfutz, post: 1703694, member: 83732"] Hi guys, As you probably have heard countless times, we are new bearded dragon owners. I'm hoping you can help because I am so confused about this lighting stuff. Our guy (Rex) is about a year old and we just purchased him and his whole enclosure from a guy who seems very knowledgeable about lizards and dragons (has a ton of them). It is a 40 gallon tank, food/water dish, sunning branch and rock. It also came with 3 lights that sit on top of the wire mesh lid to the enclosure. There is a Phillips Ecovantage 72w 120v/a19 bulb in one. I think this is for the heat. Then there is a PT2186 UVB bulb ([url=http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_uvb100.php]http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_uvb100.php[/url]). The third looks like a red bulb for night heat, but the guy said we would only need this if the temp drops below 50 (which would never do in our house). The temp dropped into the high 60's last night and i turned it on, but Rex moved to the other end of the enclosure, so I think he was ok with it being a little cooler. The guy we purchased from recommended a reptiglow 10.0 UVB light. Then I read on here that maybe these types of lights are great for them (eye problems or something). I'm also trying to find a couple good digital thermometers as the ones in there now are hard to read. I was thinking of getting two of these (one for each end of the enclosure): [url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013BKDO8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=18QCHJMTLCL8B&coliid=I2M3ZMY615CS00&psc=1]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013BKDO8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=18QCHJMTLCL8B&coliid=I2M3ZMY615CS00&psc=1[/url] Any recommendations or help you can provide regarding the lighting would be really appreciated. I know you guys have to buy this stuff all the time so if you have any specific recommendations (links are great :) ), it would really help a newb out. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
