Eastern water dragon uv lights

[parsons]

I've just got 2 eastern water dragons. I've had beardies in the past but I've read with water dragons you need both UVA and UVB lights....is this correct? I already have a UVB light so would I need to get a UVA light and can you get the in a bayonet or screw type fitting?

Umm, Both beardies and Eastern water dragons need both UVA and UBA, I never heard of a Beardie just needing UVA or just UVB. The level is different 10.0 UVA/UVB is for desert type animals like beardies, shinglebacks or turtles but Eastern water dragons are a tropical dragon that need a 5.0 UVB UVA. I use a 2 foot reflector, but for prices the bulb is cheaper Retails for 35 (internet maybe 25) as opposed to 50 - 60 for the 2 foot reflector and most of them come in screw type fittings.
