Bearded Dragon Bulb/Heating (Guide)

Depending on the size of your cage you may need to get stronger or even more bulbs for heating a larger cage. This video strictly limits the heating to my Forty Gallon Tank. You will just have to try to use your good judgement and add the right amount of heat to your Dragons cage. Another good way to get your Dragon to absorb D3 and the Calcium Powder is to take it outside (On a Leash ofcourse) and let him get some real Major UVA & UVB from the sun. IMPORTANT NOTE: Never spray water near bulbs they could explode and cause major problems.

sup, ill be geting around an 80 inch tank and i wonder if a 160 w powersun would be enough or do i have to get one more heat lamp? (plz respond)

[HexaFox]

@Creamyreptiles You can't really say around a 80" tank, it does not really tell me a lot. Although it sounds as if it is a quite large enclosure. That means your Dragon(s) will probably want to flock under the heat lamp to stay warm. Although it should cover some heat and all your UV needs for the Dragon. I would imagine you should have at least another 100watt light and a few heat emitters for day and night heating.

[HexaFox]

@Creamyreptiles Anyway just buy the Power Sun and at least one heat emitter and put it near the middle (closer to the side without the Power Sun) of the cage. Then see where you are at. The basking area should be at least near or slightly over 100F and the immediate surrounding area should be at least 80F. Then the cold side of the cage around 60F.

so if you get a all in one bulb you do not need any other bulbs?

[HexaFox]

@stuff4pets Depends on how powerful the bulb is, how big your cage is, what you have in your cage (Rocks, Bedding, Etc) and finally what your cage is made out of. Basically all you need though is the UV Bulb. It will usually put off enough heat. Although if your cage is too large or small it could be dangerous problem.

HEXA FOX i was wondering what to use during the night plz answer if you have time

[HexaFox]

@105ert They are called Ceramic Bulbs. It is basically a bulb that is all painted a solid thick color. So no light can get through. Meaning it won't disturb you're Dragon's day night cycle. For the most part you just need to make sure your set up doesn't get very cold at night. Glass enclosure's (such as mine) have this problem alot more than say one that is made out of premium wood. Glass just hold's temperature's too well.

@ornatusvaranid Because i'm sick of having to correct fucking idiots. I already explained it so you can go read it your self or go to Wikipedia. YOU CAN NOT buy a bulb that produces UVB from a seller on Ebay because there is like a mercury strip in the bulb that goes bad after awhile. So there for there is no way to tell wether your getting a legit bulb or not other than buying it retail from a trusted pet shop. Anybody than knows anything about any reptile knows that. It is common sense.

@ornatusvaranid Sadly the most I can do for you is block you out to stop you from spreading around ignorant things. Ignorant things that we were taught in 5th grade science. If you went to school and weren't on your computer all day posting on my videos you would know this. So please to feel free to pursue in a actual real education anytime. You very much do need it.
