Howdy everyone,
Been a lurker. Got some tranny veileds and have been in the process of trying to mellow them out and get them comfy in their new home...semi-permanent home. (Plan to build a bigger enclosure for them in a few months...)
That being said, I am kinda curious as to what everyone thinks of my lighting situation.
The enclosure is pretty large, 48x48x24 for two small veileds that are quickly growing, which is fabulous. A male and female that were used to being housed together so they are ok with one another. I initially had just 1 10UVB, to have enough to reach further down in the enclosure, and one of those cra* "Plant and Aquarium" lights.
The chameleons seemed alright but the umbrella plant was quickly losing it's leaves and was indicating to me that something was awry. I gutted the built in 2 tube fluorescent fixture, apartments in NYC eh, and added a 4 tube fluorescent fixture. In THAT I put those 2 same bulbs in but added 2 4600K full spectrum tubes in. So they have a 10UVB, a Plant & Aquarium, and 2 4600K full spectrum bulbs.
Opinion? Good bad sorta ok?
Here is their setup and you can see Pinky, the girl, on her pre-bed workout (walk around the screen). ^.^
