if you wanna get a lizard as a pet, beardies are the ones to have.... sooo much fun.
IVe had geckos, crested geckos, and other lizards but these are by far the best fun.
i also have a chameleon, i will take photos of him shortly...

p.s., herps = herpetiles, the keeping of reptiles as pets, aka herpetology so no jokes about herpes please.

What VX Girl has said is about right, but it mainly depends on what size tank you have.
I have quite a big tank which takes quite a bit of heating. at the top left of the tank i have a tubular heater (about 30cm long), im gotta get round to putting a stat on this, but not done it yet.
I have a 120 large bulb at the same end too, with beardies the temp needs to be between 100-110f, at the hot end and about 85-90 at the cooler end. 2 thermometers would tell you this.
Definatly go for beardies tho

i've always used ceramic heat emitters as they give off no light and a pulse proportional thermostat. anyone else use this setup?? had an infra red setup on 24/7 for my boa because they couldn't see the light. my room always felt like amsterdam.

i heard that with leopard geckos, do not need a uv light as long as the have a supply of grated cuttlefish available at all times. Is this true?

Geckos do not need any uv what so ever, i think its more bad than good for them.
