I need something to pump up the heat in my bearded dragon tank?
Now that its winter my bearded dragon tank isn't as hot as is should be. Their basking side of the tank is around 85 and the other side is around 75 I'm looking for something that will bring the whole tank up about 10 so their basking spot is around 95. Right now they have 2 basking lamps and 1 uv lamp they have 2 heat pads under the tank a big one on the basking side and a little one on the other side. Do the red heat lamps produce a lot of heat or is here something else I could use?

Basically, you need a higher wattage basking bulb. If the basking bulb you have now is a 75 watt, try a 90 or 100. Go to the next wattage up. I go through this every year with all the diurnal basking lizards.

I use uvb bulbs as they provide alot of beneficial things for these little guys.. I would also recommend slate tile it retains the heat just get a couple pieces and put it in the bottom.. Make sure you keep the median of a hot side and a cold side.. Maybe only use the slate on the hot side as well and also if you plan on going with uvb if you dont already buy from amazon or look around on the web as pet shops charge 3/4 more then the internet.
