She is a looker, for sure. She'll have some pretty coloring as she gets older.

UVB is a must, I recommend the Repti-Sun 10.0 UVB Bulb (Florescent, not coil). You can use a regular household bulb (not the coil bulbs) for heat. That's all I do for mine.
Can i ask why not the coil type if its housed in a dome ? I thought they were supposed to be able to get away from the uvb also. Isnt this why we put the heat light and the uvb together ? I also would like to know why you can just use a self ballasted mercury vapor light ? They put out both uva and uvb.And good amounts. I used them some years back and never had any issues. Even during breeding? I know i could be wrong,but these are suppose to be great sources for heat and spectrum.
I ask because i just got a beardie and its been several years and i would like to know anything updated or better info then i read.
Thanks

Beardie coming this week.
