The most common set up would be:


Full spectrum incandescent bulb - wattage varying on cage heating needs
Reptisun 10.0 bulb


My larger cages usually have 4 lights total. 1 for heat, 1 for uvb (unless mvb or equivalent is used) and 2 for light no heat. Cages are bright and dragons are healthy and active. Lighting is usually set in time with natural daylight outside, less so for juves/males. If theirs windows present they will sometimes mimic patterns to it.

I didnt see it mentioned but if temps do fall to 60 in your cage another heating alternative would be a ceramic heat emitter

thanks for the replys

i have started using a normal coloured bulb during the day and switch to my red bulb at night but have set my thermostat to only come on when it goes to 60 ish and it hasn't come on so far i keep an eye on night temps they are about 65 f .

i have been thinking about getting a ceramic heater but just a low watt so i dont have to buy another thermostat cause you need a pulse thermostat for a ceramic i think ?

but for now im just keeping it how it is i think
