Hello all,
I have a new beardie and thought I did my research until I started reading this forum.
Anyhow this is where I am at. I bought a 40 gal breader tank and the following light. A zoo med deep dome light fixture with a
125watt solar glo Sub simulating lamp. It says that it gives off both UVB and UVA and heats(which it does heat) all in one.
Second I do have a heat pad in the bottom of the tank as well.
My question is ---- Is this the wrong lighting for this???? The reptile shop sold it as a kit. I know there may be personal pref. as in reef keeping so I am really looking for some strong facts--- I hope the store wouldn't compromise one of there pets health.
Next question is about the heat pad. They also recommended this and now I read that many people do not like them. My house does get down to 64-65 so I think I do need some heat source. Anyway I hope i was not steared wrong hear --- again any input would be appreciated.
