New bearded dragon mom

[Apanzarella]

Hello! I'm a new bearded dragon mom. I've had reptiles in the past such as turtles and lizards but never a BD. I haven't named it yet because not sure of the sex although leaning towards female because it has a smaller head and narrow tail. Anyway, I've read about nightime lighting and it seems that as long as the temp doesn't go below 70 F, I shouldnt need a nightime light/heat source. I wanted some feedback from actually beardy owners. What do you all do for nightime? In the summer I'm not too worried but in the winter, I might want to add in an extra heat source. But what kind might y'all recommend? Thank you in advance!

Welcome to beardie world---- the most important thing in the tank is the basking temps taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --- a long tube fixture UVB No Zillas or Thrives -- Zoo Meds Sunblasters or Arcadias are the best fixtures w/ either the Reptisun 10.0 bulbs T 5 I recommend and Arcadia 12% bulb-- and a good bright white basking bulb --- No coils of any kind No sand No colored bulbs -- you want 3 temps in the tank basking temp of 105-110 for a baby --- 95-100 for a adult juvie and 80's during the day --- night time temp nothing below 65 and over 75---- winter time you can either get a heat projector or a CHE--- ceramic heat emitter -- those are good to have on hand for winter and sick beardies -- if you need anymore help please ask -- diet / supplements etc----------
