i currently have my little guy in a 20gal tank... it was the zilla bearded dragon kit... i know, im REALLY wishing i hadn't purchased it as i ended up purchasing a bunch of other stuff for it, and could have saved money doing so... i have a 100w basking bulb with an adjustable dial for heat/light. i also have a 30gal lamp with a reptisun 10.0 uvb bulb. i am looking at this tank as a new habitat for my little guy... it looks pretty nice, its either purchase a new tank or try my hand at building a 4X2X2 enclosure... which honestly, i don't really have the room for... anyway, if i were to get this, would i need to upgrade on my bulbs?

That enclosure is a pretty good size. You'll probably need a higher wattage bulb to provide adequate heat at the greater distance, or add a second heat bulb. I also suggest a T5 UVB light at that distance. They have an optimal output at around 12-14'' above the basking area. They are much better in larger tanks than a T8. These are good options for a UVB light:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
