First, you have to build or buy an appropriate enclosure. You have to supply correct ambient heat, humidity and basking surface temperature. You can only measure basking surface temperature accurately with an infrared thermometer gun like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-774-Non-contact-Thermometer/dp/B00837ZGRY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=IR+temp+gun&qid=1554875786&s=gateway&sr=8-3
I don't know what the proper substrate is but I do know that they need a very hot basking surface temperature in the 120- 145 F range. The ambient temperature will need to be quite hot, too, like 90 or so degrees but with a cool side of the enclosure around 80 or so degrees. Then the lizard can move around to regulate its temperature. They need a hot surface to bask on so their stomach and digestion works. Without that, their food could spoil in their gut.
You should use heat lamps to produce heat. You can use halogen flood lamps or heat lamps made specifically for reptiles. Research, research, research.
You could easily build a wooden 4' x 2' x 2' enclosure out of one piece of plywood. A large enclosure will give it room to run around and climb, which will be good for it just like it would be for us humans. If you don't have space for that large an enclosure, ask for advice from Bearded dragon owners.
Bearded dragons eat differently at different stages of life. Babies eat insects while adults eat leafy green plants, flowers, vegetables, some fruit and insects and an occasional mouse.
They need Calcium and Vitamin supplements with D3. They need UVB and UVA light.
Read about them and the their care and ask questions of experienced Beardie owners, they will be able to help you.
https://www.amazon.com/MTPRTC-Controller-Thermostat-Germination-Reptiles/dp/B000NZZG3S. Here is a cheap thermostat that will do all you really need by turning off when it hits a certain temperature and turning back on when the temp gets to a different temperature. In the future you should also keep it outside of the cage, as well as the thermostat probe. Trust someone who has learned the hard way what happens when you don't, so you don't hurt your animal, or worse, kill it or even start a fire.

Here is a cheap IR thermometer that is perfectly effective so you can actually properly monitor surface temperatures. Also, if the thermometers you currently have aren't digital, you're not even measuring temperature accurately now. Dials (i.e. Analog thermometers) are totally useless.
Now by the downvotes I'm getting, I'm assuming you're mostly ignoring me. Cool. So when your reptile inevitably gets burned, don't bother posting here or in the reptile sub or wherever asking what to do, because the advice will be the same: just immediately take him to your nearest reptile vet (I'd make sure you know where that is.)
I wish the best for your poor lizard and hope you aren't failing in other aspects of his care.
If you had made this post in r/reptiles, you would have gotten the heat tape thermostat talk too. Don't believe me? Go post there and wait for other people to tell you the same thing.
Sure! Here you go!
Heat tape has a tendency to get really really hot when it fails. You should have it hooked to a thermostat regardless of it being the "right temperature" or not. This jumpstart thermostat gets really good reviews and isn't particularly expensive.
Get a couple ramps you can put on the edge of the pool so they can get out on their own. You’d hate to find one dead.
