We have had other reptiles this is the first bearded dragon, her name is Daenerys, queen of the dragons! She is so sweet, she's very active, I have her in a 30 gallon tank,, I think? The cool side says 82/84 no thermometer on the lamp side yet, but I'm guessing it's hotter, is this ok for her? Some are saying no to cold some are saying it's ok?! She's only been here 2 days & she's great at eating ,, she's a Humane Society rescue, she was starved with no lights! She has Metabolic Bone Disease, we love her already so much, I wanna make sure she has the best life now!!

Welcome to the forum and welcome to the world of beardies.. If you take a look under several of our comments we have put together a ton of info that anyone can use at some point for reference.. there are some links that will take you to the general care section..

Welcome! How old do you think she is? The cool side temp is good, the basking spot is the most important temp to know though. Adult dragons 18+ months need a basking spot around 98 degrees and babies need a basking spot of around 107 degrees.
