Description:	Your heating choice is important because you need to create a temperature gradient in your dragon enclosure. You can do this with a UV bulb controlled by a thermostat to prevent temperature crashes. You could also use MVB bulbs, but they cannot be controlled by thermostats, so you would need to monitor the temperature carefully. Your ambient temperature within the enclosure should be 78-89°F/26-32°C and your basking spot should be 10-118°F/43-48°C. It is a good idea to locate your basking bulb in an area that your dragon likes to spend most of their time. Turning the lighting and heating down or off at night will help to mimic a day/night cycle. The temperature at night should fall to 69-77°F/21-25°C.
