And some other pictures to show that all I use are floodlights mounted low over basking spots.


This was taken with the room dark, and the basking lights on, note how dark the room and cage is for that matter. I have since moved the basking spot a long time ago and reduced the bulbs from 5 to 3 with 4 in the coldest part of winter.

By simply going outside the cage and turning the few 20 watt flourescent light outside the cage in the ceiling on, notice the light intensity difference.

I also produced alot of beardies and eggs although most in a years time before losing interest in continuing breeding them.
Same lights, no flourescents, no mercury vapor, etc Just standard household halogen 45 watt floodbulbs.
