A 150 watt bulb should do the trick. A bearded dragon needs about 95F to 105F in the basking spot and 75F to 85F in the cool end of the tank.
Absolutely. My adult male bearded dragon lives alone in a 100 gallon (6ft long, 2ft high, 18in deep) tank and he is thriving. With that large of a tank, you will need a 150 watt basking bulb, full spectrum UVB, and lots of logs and hides to give him options.
A 50 watt heater is major over kill for a 3 gallon tank, a 10 watt heater is more than enough for a tank that size. You will nuke your aquarium very quickly the first time the 50 watt heater sticks on, with a 10 watt heater if it sticks on the aquarium temp will only raise a degree or two.
Three hours is the average time to run the hot water per day so if you have a 1500 watt tank you will pay about $13.50 a month <<>> A 1500 watt water tank is not going to heat much water. The average home hot water tank operates with 4500 watt elements in it. To get an accurate price use 4500 watts as a starting point.
There are many causes for this, the first and most common is that their light is too hot. Never use anything higher than a 75 watt bulb. One way to be sure of this is checking to see where your beardie is when he is not basking. If it is in shady areas this most likely means that the light is too hot.
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.
I would not try to heat a tank any larger than 8 gallons with a small 50 watt heater. The difference in price between a 50 watt and a much more usful 150 watt heater is not much. I'd check things out before I got a very small heater that may have to work very hard to do its job.
it should contain at least one copy of each watt card. watt burn has burn cards pecker squirrel and pheasant attack with all your force watt control uses wattcastle and gravity bind to make destroying your watts near impossible as they attack directly syncro watts for dragon syncros battery watts for a mix of heavy attack and great effect cards
It all depends on how much the tank holds and the wattage of your heater I like to have 10 wattage for ever gallon so if you hVe a ten gallon tan you need a 100 watt heater also the temperature of you want will make a deference normally my 20 gallon tank can go from 46F to about 77 F in two hours
Assuming this is standard house voltage of 120 VAC your 4500 Watt heater will draw about 37.5 amps. You would normally install a 50A breaker and would have to run 8 gauge wire.
Here are the essentials for a Bearded Dragons cage Bearded Dragons must have at least two sources of heat. They need a long UVB light lamp and a heat lamp with at least a 60 watt bulb. You must maintain at least 80 degrees in its terrarium. The UVB bulb is important because it supplies vitamins and other nutrients that the sun gives off, but never place the terrarium in direct sunlight. For the flooring you should use sand or small rocks, but if you have a baby bearded dragon you should use terrarium liner. Terrarium liner is easier to clean. The babies do not pay much attention to what they are eating, so when they ingest sand they will digest their intestines and die. They also need plants such as cactus, long grass, and plants you may find in a dessert, but try not to put any more than four plants. Remember, make the terrarium as close to a dessert biome as you can. You may want to put a dessert back drop, because if the terrarium is near a mirror, the lizard may get confused and might try to attack his reflection and will result in him hurting himself. Last, you must place a dish of water in the cage, also place either small or large crickets, flightless fruit flies, and/or meal worms in the cage. All of these items may seem pricey, but I believe it is worth it. Most of these supplies can be purchased at Pet Co and Pet Smart.
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.
