My vet recommends 10.0 for Panthers because they live high in the trees and get strong UV unlike other chams that live among the bushes and branches. My Panthers love them. I have measured the UV with my meter and I get 60-80+ from a new bulb whereas from a 5.0 I only get 40-50. When I take the meter outside I can get 180 no problem. That is why the chams like to be outside. I only put my babies under the lower UV bulbs.

I am a 10.0 believer also. My panther has an enclosure that is dense w/ plant life also.
Going 10.0 seems to be going against the grain with all the advice out there for 5.0.

I am still waiting for a response from Liddy the owner of Kammerflage Kreations in reference to her statement on their website as to NEVER use a 10.0 as they emit too much phosphorous.Go check it out for yourself. They even warn it can kill your chamelelon. Pretty strong statement there....

I second this. Both my guys have 10.0.
