Hey guys. Just joined. I know nothing about bearded dragons, but my girlfriend has one that’s almost 2 if I remember right. For Christmas I’ve been building her a stand for her 75 gallon tank, and the bottom is complete minus finishing the shelf and some decorative pieces. I would post a pic of it but in the off chance she’s on this forum I won’t until after she gets it. My main question, and hope this is in correct section, is on lighting for the enclosure. Right now, she has 2 uvb fluorescent style lights on each side of the top of the tank on the back part. Then a big double fixture that has 2 bulbs in it (both put out heat and light so I think basking??? Then on the other side she has 2 smaller, separate heat emitters. At night she is always flipping the double fixture over to the coil side and putting the two heat emitters on the warm side. Is this necessary? Or can the cool side become the warmer side at night when the two basking lights are off? I’m asking this because the stand will have a top to it also but I need to know if the lights can stay where they are or if it’s necessary to keep one side warm and one side cool constantly. Thanks
