Question
Hi I am getting a bearded ddragon at the end of the month, I saw a reptel bulb in petsmart today that provided warmth for basking, UVB & UVA rays! It fits into a clamp lamp socket would this be good to use as a heat/uvb sorce?

Answer
Hi,

You can use UVB/UVA rays bulb. You can also use regular bulb for the reflector lamp.

( I use UVB light for my anole for basking. I only use the regular reflector lamp for my Bearded Dragons for the past 3years. They are doing great.)

So, you might want to try this for a change at first and see how they react to it. Hope they will do well.

        Take care, Good Luck!
