I am currently looking into purchasing a bearded dragon and upon doing some research I have a few questions.
1. I have read that they need 12 hours of light daily and that you generally want to to do the first feeding 1 hour after the light first comes on. My question is can I have he light come on at 05:00 so I can feed him at 06:00 while I am getting ready for work? Also since the light coming on at 05:00 would put it going off at 17:00 it would still be day light outside. Would this mess the dragons schedule up?
2. I was looking at some of the kits in my local Petsmart and this is the one I was suggested http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4070846. I was told this would suffice for 6 - 8 months then I would need to move into a bigger tank. From reading the reviews it looks like I would need to change out the bulbs so the dragon would get the proper lighting. Is something like this good for starter or am I better off buying the items seperate?
