Frequently asked questions
How many watts of lamp does a bearded dragon need? Warm spot: 75-100 W incandescent lamp at a distance of 30 cm. UVB: Exo Terra 10.0 (T8 or T5HO), 70-80% of the length of the terrarium.
How often should you change the UV lamp? Every 6-12 months. UV radiation subsides before visible light. Old lamp = reptile suffers from rickets, although it “shines like new.”
Do I need a thermostat? Absolutely! Without a thermostat, the lamps can overheat the terrarium to 50+°C - fatal for the reptile.
