Do you need UTH for Bearded's?
Or as long as the basking site is higher then air temp with the use of lights.

I am using
25 G Tank
play sand for substrate.
Basking spot light. On during day.
Infrared Heat Lamp. On 24 hours
Repti Glo 8.0 Fluorescent Lamp.UVA & UVB on during day.
Piece of grape branch which is what he sits and sleeps on.

During the day I have the basking light over it and heat lamp on other end of tank, then at night I put the heat lamp over the basking site cause thats where he sleeps.
Eventually he will be going in a 55 gal tank as I know this will be too small of a tank for him.

Thanks

I just know that if your night time temps dont drop under 65, you dont need one. Not even a night light. Im not totally sure though, so i hope a more knowledgable person will answer this question :) .

from what I have read doenoe is correct you need nothing if your house temps do not drop under 65 deg
