Hello,
We got a new baby bearded dragon Friday and we bought a complete tank set up from petco which is an all living things brand. It has a solid hard plastic top with a wide mesh insert for 3 large dome lights to fit. It included a 100w basking light and a 25w uvb high out put bulb. I have both placed on the basking side and the temp in the tank is 75-80 on cool side and 90 on heat side and his basking spot is 105-110. I have read that UV should be inside the tank but would a 25w h/o bulb with large holes not be enough?
He wasn't eating when we got him and yesterday he finally ate and chased crickets and seems happy. Today I tried to feed him and he wasn't interested and is basking and sleeping. Long story short (sorry) I want the best for our lil guy so if I have a 40 gallon how big of a reptisun 10.0 do I need inside and I read t5 is best but needs a foot above which in my case won't work, thank you in advance
