do you have a uvb/uva bulb from the pet store or are you using a uv bulb from the supermarket? The UV doesnt give off heat but it is essential to the absorption of vitamins essential for his health. If he does not get enough uva and uvb he will get metabolic bone disease. The uva and uvb are only present in adequate amounts within 30cms so has nothing to do with heat the heat however is essential for his digestion, as reptiles do not regulate their own body temperature they need an outside source. the heat is provided by a spot light/ceramic heat light. If you dont have adequate lighting plus calcium supplement you wont have a healthy beardie
Supermarket lights do not have the right uv.
