What is better for a bearding dragon baby, Calcium with D3 or without?
What is the best UV light wattage for the baby. Is it 75 watts in a 20 gal?

Try a few different combos, if the 75w isn't high enough you can upgrade to a 100 or pair it with a CHE. It should be high enough, though. Make sure to use a digital thermostat for safety.

For a 20 gallon tank a 75 watt should be good but you MUST have a digital probe thermometer to get the temp - 105-110 no hotter---- place the probe on the basking spot of where he sits 10 min then get the temp ---- NO coils for a UVB -- they are inadequate ---- you can use a long fixture usually a 18 or 20" T 8 I recommend a 24" fixture that comes w/ a 5.0 bulb which is equivalent to a T 8 bulb -- you will need to upgrade that tank to a 40 + gallon tank I recommend a 75-120 gallon but either way the 24" fixture would go right into a bigger tank you would need to upgrade the bulb to the T 5 at that point
