I have 1 8-9 month old bearded dragon in a 50 gallon tank. On the hot side i use an exo terra 160 watt Solar glo and a 100 watt Grreat Choice daytime incandescent heat bulb. This keeps the basking spot at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. On the cool side i use an ancient UVB bulb which ive had for forever and the temp is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Rex (my bearded dragon) has been super happy since I moved him up to his new cage and lighting setup about a month ago.
My problem is that my 160 watt Solar glo burnt out after only one month. I have practice in the mornings at 6:30 and with homework I'm lucky to get to sleep by 11:00. I keep Rex in my room and I like watching him so i have the light timers set for 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Am I doing anything wrong or is there anything that I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks!
