Getting a bearded dragon

Question
Hey Joe,

well i have decided i will be going to buy a bearded dragon.

i have everything ready apart from one thing.

my viv is a 36' and i was wondering if a 75 watt bulb would be a sufficient basking light? if not, what wattage would you suggest?

maybe tell me what you have with your dragons or something?

thankyou for your help

Jordan

Answer
Hello, a 75 watt should be just fine, i have a log in each of my dragons habitat that they can climb and go under. They also have night lamps that is weaker with a different color for night. They have normal sand which is the best substrate. Along with the food/water bowls they need to have a good size habitat that will be good for them.
