Tile Baby Blue
Incandescent or Heat Emitter?
Since the summer we've been using the A.C and it gets pretty cold. I have a baby bearded dragon in a 20gal tank. I'm going to build him/her a bigger enclosure covering the inside with 'mock rock' tile since I heard wood can be harmful. Anyway I use a incandescent bulb for heat and normally turn it off at night but now it gets too cold in the house. Leaving it on would disturb their sleep right? So can I use a heat emitter or one of those tinted blue bulbs. I remember hearing something about the tinted bulbs but forgot what so I don't remember if they're bad or not. For the meantime I've convinced my family to turn off the A.C and use fans at night but with the heat rising I don't think I can get them to go along with it for much longer o_o
Well there are two things you can do. One is the Red heat bulbs that you were talking about and they are very safe and do not disrupt the reptiles sleep at all. Exo terra makes one with blue glass but the blue glass ones don`t produce as much heat as the red glass. For a Beardie I’m guessing you would want a 100 watt to keep thing around 90F. Also you can use something called an under tank heater. They look like the heat pad you use for cramps or a muscle ache but they are meant for reptile. You simply leave them on all the time and put them under the glass of the tank and the reptile can go to that side of the tank when cold. You never want to use a heat rock or cord they tend to overheat and cause burns (sometimes deadly ones).
