You don't need a night light. It is better if they don't have one. If it gets too cold use a ceramic heat light which is a fadiant heat bulb. No light. Sometimes referred to as a CHE.

Bearded dragons can see spectrums of light that we can't see that is why no light of any color is recommended at night. They also have a gland on top of their head that they use to sense light and heat. It helps them regulate their body but it also lets them see shadows in light coming over their head which would notify them that a predator is over head.

It gets cold at night and im worried that my babies are getting cold too
As long as the temps don't get below 65F they are fine if it does then yes get a CHE for nightime use.

Thanks for the information here . I have been using a black light bulb for my small Dragon Moe. The room is in has temps at night of about 72 degrees as tested with my digital inferred thermometer I will gladly turn off that light at night so he can sleep as good as possible thanks again

Yea as long as it doesn't get below 65 you don't need any light of any kind they need the cool down at night.
