Porcelain Dragon
Need help with terrarium setup!?

Hi, we bought the following:

- 36"x18"x24" Exo-Terra Large Glass Terrarium PT-2614
- 2xExo-Terra Porcelain Clamp Lamp+Glow Reflector PT-2054
- Exo-Terra SunGlo Tight Beam 150w Basking Spot Lamp PT-2140
- Exo-Terra ReptiGlo 10.0 Compact Desert Lamp PT-2189
- 3xBags of Exo-Terra Desert Sand PT-3100
- Exo-Terra 11"x17" HeatWave Substrate Heater PT-2040

All of the above was bought at PJ's Pet Centres at SquareOne Mall in Mississauga Ontario Canada. Our question is, the Terrarium does not heat up enough we think. After having the lights on all day, it only gets up to 30-32c/87f at the basking site. Is this warm enough for a beared dragon?

If not, can you give me the part number of a canopy that would fit this Terrarium and the part number of the UVB and basking lights that we should use. We are new to this and are setting up everything first before we get a beared dragon.

basically your gonna need a in cage UV light fitting(UV light fitting = PT-2239) because the light needs to be within 12 inchs for an acceptable effect withing 6 is better. a 95-105 F basking spot is needed either get a stronger blub or put it closer to the basking spot.

btw u know a full grown beardie needs a 4 foot long enclosure minimum.
