It’s about time for me to replace my beardies uvb bulb. When I purchased it originally, I got the Arcadia 24w 12% HO-T5. But this time as I was going to purchase a new bulb, I saw the 14% “dragon” bulb. Hes in a 120 gallon tank and the lights are mounted outside of the mesh, however he had an elevated basking platform. I’m seeing mixed answers on which would be considered better. Which do you guys use and recommend? I don’t want to go overkill but I want to help him thrive! Also if the wattage is the same, do you think there’s any reason why the 14% wouldn’t work in the fixture of the 12%?

Hey guys! I’m rescuing a small corn tomorrow, it’s pretty impromptu but it’s kinda a life or death for the little guy and I want to give him a good home. I have an extra 40 gallon just sitting around. I have experience with snakes and have kept a bearded dragon. Could you give me your recommendations on husbandry? I know there’s always a lot of conflicting information out there. Anything helps!
