mvb too much?

[tanya954]

i went to a reptile store last weekend and bought a new mvb for my bearded dragon,the man there said i needed a 125w so i got it.She seems to love it and sits under it alot.I just wanted to make sure it isnt to powerful,I have her in a 48 gal tank.
the bulb i got was a Exo Terra solar glo-120v-60hz-125w
I didnt want her to get burnt or just be too hot
Thank you in advance

I think it should be 12 or 18 inches away. I am not positve though, so maybe let someone else reply who is sure. Did it say anything on the box? Chris

Your beardie should be at least 12" away from it. What are her basking temps at? And what are you measuring your temps with?

Hello,

You have a 125watt Solar Glo? What are the current temps right now?
That particular light should be 12-14 inches from your dragon that is fine. They also make a 160watt which should be 18 inches away. It is a safe bulb, based on the UVB meter data that has been reviewed.
