Best Answer

Beardies need 2 types of lighting, Basking/UVA and UVB. The Mercury Vapor is a good source for the UVB and some heat, it will work on it's own for a smaller tank but remember you need 2 temps a basking spot of 100-110F and the cooler side of 75-85F. If you can get these temps with just the mercury vapor bulb awesome if not you need a second light.

Will a hawk eat a bearded dragon?

Yes. A hawk is a bird of prey, like falcons and owls. They eat rodents, rabbits, smaller birds, snakes, and small lizards. You would not, however, see a hawk eating a hawk or other predatory bird-or a large lizard, for that matter-like you would a bearded dragon eating a bearded dragon.
