Far enough away so he cannot climb or jump on to it directly !
A red heat lamp can provide warmth for a bearded dragon, helping to regulate their body temperature and aid in digestion. It can also simulate natural sunlight, which is important for their overall health and well-being.
I would not advise a heating pad because when it gets too hot it can burn your bearded dragon's sensitive belly. A heat lamp is enough. There is one more lamp that simulates artificial sunlight you need too (i forget what it is called at the moment) but there is no need for a heating pad. Just, depending on your bearded dragon's size, get the correct size heating lamp. Ask your local pet store owner or bearded dragon breeder what lamp size is best for him/her.
Did it also have the correct heating for the bearded dragon, like a heat lamp and heating pad? If it didn't, then your bearded dragon probably froze to death. Where did you get the bearded dragon from? If it was from a pet store, that will explain it too. Pet stores don't take care of their animals well usually so they are usually sold sick and or very unhealthy

Use a heat mat under the vivarium at the same end as the heat lamp.
It is better to use a wire top so that the air can circulate better, and also so the heat from the heat lamp gets through easier.
If your bearded dragon is exposed to a red light for an extended period of time, you should immediately remove the light and provide a proper heat source, such as a basking light or heat lamp. Prolonged exposure to red light can disrupt their natural day-night cycle and may cause stress or health issues for your pet. It's important to ensure they have access to a proper light cycle and temperature gradient in their enclosure to maintain their well-being.
Some sand and basking spots at various levels so that your beardie can get as much heat as it wants. Be sure to have a food and water dish. (Not under the heat lamp.) You can also add a few fake plants and rocks to spice it up a bit.
Reptiles aren't 'lazy' - They cannot regulate their own temperature, so spend a lot of time simply basking in the sun (or under a heat-lamp in captivity) to raise their body temperature to a usable level.
Red heat lamps are not harmful to bearded dragons as long as they are used correctly and provide the necessary warmth and light for the reptile. It is important to monitor the temperature and ensure that the lamp does not overheat the enclosure.
I have one my self, and they can survive for about 2-5 hours, and if you can't find a heating lamp, you should put him/her on a heated sock, that has rice in it. And heat the sock with dried rice in it for about 4 min.ina microwave
Yes you can, however if you have a heat lamp you should get a heat mat (for under the cage) so he/she can have heat at the top and bottom of the cage.
