    I was wondering what everyone's take is on my idea for lighting my 29 GAL tank for a baby water dragon.

    I want to put 2 18'' UVB lights on the middle of my tank lid. They don't give off heat, just light, so having them in the middle would allow my Water Dragon to get the light it needs without being too hot throughout the habitat.

    On the right side of my tank I want to put a 100 WATT Basking light. This will be my warmer side of the habitat.

    On the left side I wanted to put a 75 WATT bulb so my tank will still be able to reach 86-88F.

    Basically my question is do you think using 2 18'' UVB lights would be too much?

    And do you think using 2 heat lamps would be too much?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds good to me! UVB set sounds good, but if you find the heat gets to high, remove the second heat lamp. Lizards like agamids need heated areas, but they also need an area in which to retreat from the heat.
