how hot should a bearded dragons cage be... on other forums i have read that the need about 40 degrees celcius. mine are under about around a 32-34 mark under their basking spot. this is what it said in the keeping bearded dragons book. i have also asked many other ppl in pet shops and they said that, that temp should be fine... i havent had a problem digestion wise or had any signs of either being sick...
still.... should i make thier basking spot higher... where they live in the wild in the Northrn territory, it usually averages only about 32-35 a day.... all year around

It should be around 110-115 degrees F. See how hot it gets at there basking spot then if it is too cold raise it.

110-115 is around about 40 degrees... my basking spots would be about 95-100....

If your dragons are younger the more hot it is the faster they will grow.

A correct temperature is critical to healthy growth. Dragons must become warm enough (body temperature of about 100 deg F) to digest their food. Digestion is temperature-sensitive. If they are too cold, their food will merely decay in their stomachs. Dragons that are eating poorly are likely living at the wrong temperature. The gradient should range from the mid 70's or low 80's on the cool side to the mid 80's on the warm side, with a basking area ranging from 95-105.

I agree with what bd14 uses because those seem to keep the heat up in a aquarium.

No I don't think that's what he means. But I think he has one of those really hot bulbs that keeps the heat really high in the cage. He also keeps the night light on 24/7.

No. But do still think it's enough even with the night light on all day and night?
