Blue heat light?

Can I use a blue light to heat my bearded dragons cage? (Like the one you would buy at the pet store)

I wouldn't. Regular bulbs are best for the daytime heat, as they brighten the environment mimicking natural light cycles. Supplemental nighttime heat can be provided by using a ceramic heat emitter. You get the heat, without the light. A colored bulb still produces light, which can negatively impact their sleep cycle, and the quality of sleep that they get. And our little dragons need their beauty sleep!

You can if that's all you have at the moment, but I would invest in a proper day bulb so you don't throw off your dragon's day/night schedule.

Not only are the colored bulbs bad for sleeping dragons they can cause problems with their pupils not allowing them to constrict and dilate properly .
