Is it bad if I use a 2.0 UVB light instead of a 5.0 UVB for a young beardie?

Question

I kept reading that you needed "full spectrum" UVB for a bearded dragon, so I bought a Reptisun UVB that said "full spectrum" on the box (the others had different descriptions). Now I keep reading however that you should use a 5.0 UVB light.

The bearded dragon is still very small so it may not matter, but this is an issue of some concern to me. Should I get the UVB 5.0 or is the 2.0 okay for now?

Answer 1

a 5.0 would work the best becasuse they are babies and they are still growing.  but you can move down to a 2.0 when it are bigger

Answer 2

i got reptile glo 10.0

Answer 3

You need to upgrade asap. Use 8..0-10.0 NEVER that low!

Answer 4

beardies need alot of uv especially when young and growing fast in others yes u need a 5.0
