Question:

Do you use a ceramic heat light with a basking light?

I have a 20 gallon tank for my bearded dragon, do I use a ceramic light along with a basking and uvb light ?

Answer:

The ceramic heat emitters get pretty hot so you will not need a extra basking bulb.How ever you will need Uv lighting.The uv lighting is one of the most important things if not the most important thing.With out proper uv lighting your bearded dragon will not make it.But it this way no uv light no growth and improper calcium and death.So make sure you have a decent uv source,Whether mercury vapor bulb or florescent light.
Uvb is more important. Get uvb and basking light only. If it gets cold in your house at night put a heat pad on the hot side.
