    Hello, I am currently a snake owner looking to get a bearded dragon. My snake doesn't need UVB so I struggle a bit to understand it with bearded dragons. I bought a 48 in L x 18 in D x 21 in H 75-gallon tank, which I realize is huge for a baby, so I want to divide it in two. As I said, I'm...

    Heat and UVB dilemma

    I have a double bulb lamp, housing one 100w heat bulb and one uvb bulb. This does not get his tank hot enough. 2 heat bulbs fix the problem, but leaves my beardie without uvb. I am considering 2 options: -getting a higher watt heat bulb, or -getting a second, lower wattage capacity lamp...
