Reptiles - Geckos, Lizards, Snakes, and Turtles!

[spookybat]

This is my girl Wuya doing one of two (2) things she enjoys in life which is to take
a bath while I cleaned her cage. (The other thing is to Bite.) She's pretty convinced
she's a water moccasin and I don't argue.

She's a children's python or as I know her an angry rope with teeth so I don't handle
her, but she's got a big personality to make up for it.

does anyone know the best heat lamp for a bearded dragon? I have a few in mind but I'd like to make sure before actually getting my beardie ;w;

Actually, I'd recommend flood lamps! Reptile-oriented heat lamps tend to be cheaply made and break easily.

@blueh
a flood lamp as in something like this? I've never seen that used before but if it's better I'd love to look into it instead!

You can use domes like are used for reptile oriented bulbs, just use a flood light bulb in a properly sized dome. Just make sure the wattage of the bulb is equal to or less than the wattage of the dome

(i should have said light instead of lamp, sorry! haven't had a good nights sleep in a while) I use reptile domes and get a flood light from Home Depot. Just have to make sure the wattage is not too high. I have uromastyx, which are similar to beads in some ways, and my set up is very similar to this:

You can also do something like this, but it doesn't give you the adjustability that reptile domes do:

personally, i find a mix of ceramic heat
lamps and colorless heat lamps work best.
what i normally do best for my beardie, whom
is about nine months hence the higher wattage
is give him a one hundred watt ceramic heat lamp
alongside a colorless lamp which looks like this.
and that one’s about sixty watts. however at night,
i remove the heat lamp and keep the ceramic
in so i don’t interrupt his sleeping schedule with
the bright light. however, every owner and beardie
is different so you may need to alter the wattage
especially if your beardie is younger or older and
where the lamps are placed. but this is only
my opinion so feel free to experiment, but do
stay away from colored lamps as they are meant
for nocturnal lizard species, in which beardies
are dirunal so it interupts with their night schedule.
also i’d be wary of heat pads or rocks as they can
burn your beardie. hope this helps c:

In my opinion, she's a super hypo.
