Question
i just bought a red headed agama but i dont have the lamp with me. im going to be home in 2 days and i want to know if he could go that long without his light. right now im only using a 25 watt but my pet requirs a 100 watt.   do you think he will make it home alright?

Answer
Well that depends on the ambient temperature of where your at currently.  I am tempted to tell you to ask the person who you bought it from to hold it until you leave.  I wouldn't suggest that the Agama be made to suffer that long without proper heat as it may incur respiratory issues due to heat levels being inaccurate.
