You want a long tube fixture like a 24 watt Arcadia pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb or a 24"zoo med w/ a reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a sun blaster nano tech -- I can post links for you in the morning if you like -- coils are in adequate and are no good - they cause too many health issues-

thank you so much!! can you recommend a night light?

No night light --- if your tank is between 65-75 at night hes good- dragons need cool and dark for a good nights rest -- if you need heat at night because the tank is getting too cold below 65 then you would need a ceramic heat emitter -- or a CHE you will need a dome fixture and for a 40 gallon tank I would say a 60 watt or so - these produce heat NO light --- try the 60 if you need it and see what kind of temps your getting over night -- 65-75 ambient temp --

I would try and get one in store so if the 60 watt is not high enough you can take it back and exchange the bulb for a 100 watt --- keep your receipt so you dont have issues --

What type of flooring is she on ? Although this is most likely nothing to be worried about you can be proactive and get some Lamisil antifungal cream to put on for a while.
