I'll be the owner of a baby bearded dragon in a couple of weeks, and I plan and getting the cage all set up before I bring him/her home.
I've got a 20gallon long that is the former home of Amber, who now resides in a 40g breeder. She's got all the stretching room she'll ever need. The beardy will get its own once it grows out of the 20L.
Heres what I've got in my cart from Reptile Direct:
Repti-Sun 5.0 UVB
8.5" Light fixture w/heat bulb
Repti-Carpet
Water dish
Food bowl
Herp hotel basking ledge/hide spot
medium sized exo-terra cave
misc decorations
Walmart list:
18" strip fixture
temp guages
Question: What should the wattage be on the bulb that I get? I know that beardies need ~110 degrees in the basking spot, I just don't know what bulb to get. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Anything I am forgetting?
