Witch tube??

Hi, need help here!!!

I'm going to change my compact 26w UV lamps to the Reptisun 5.0 tube.
For my 24" x 18" x 24" screened terrarium should i use the 14W, 15W, 20, 30W or 40W Reptisun 5.0 tube?

Thanks,
Nuno.

Whichever length tube will fit the top of your enclosure best. The biggest that will fit.

Howdy Nuno,

The 15w tube is usually 18" long and that would be fine. Set things up so that your chameleon can be within 8"-12" of the tube's surface when basking.
