What Bulb

So I Am Getting A 20 Gallon Tank For My Beardie What Bulb Wattage Would I Need For Night Time Because I Know That The Red Light Bothers Them So What Bulb Should I Get?

20 gallon tank? That's ok for a very young beardie, but you need to look into at least a 40 gallon breeder when the dragon gets to growing.

I wouldn't think that you'd need night time heat in an enclosure that small. I have 40 gallon breeder tanks all around and don't bother with night time heat. Unless your room gets below 65 degrees Fahrenheit at night, of course.

If you need night time heat, go with a low wattage ceramic heat emitter. It doesn't put out any light and just screws into the fixture like an ordinary bulb. I highly recommend you plug that into a thermostat, though. That way you can keep from overheating the dragon.

Naa I Think I Should Just Get A 70 Terratrium But Would I Need 100 Wattage To Start Off With?

You probably won't need 100 watts, but at least with a dimmer you can control the brightness and heat.
