I am pretty much finally done setting up my 2 cages with the help from Todd from lightyourreptiles as I just got another 4 month old nosey be from Kammers...here are some pics attached
I have been fooling around with different bulbs to use for basking...i really like the full spectrum of light that a clear halogen gives off....does anyone have any recommendations on the best brand? Im testing the zoomed halogen 75 wt now??
I am using a arcadia 6.0 t5 already would it be bad...
5.0 should b fine bc the uvb will only reach 12in or so regardless cage size...possible may need stronger basking depending on room temp....if ur cham gets close a 12.0 arcadia or 10 zoomed you could fry him a lil aka sunburn...you could upgrade to the arcadia 6.0 from lightyourreptiles just got...
I recently got the Pro Exotics pe2 off amazon seems to be working real good with good reviews...also u can switch to halogens to have on energy if you need
U can put your bulbs in a dome and put on screen just make sure that a vine that he or she will bask on is about 6 inches away...this should significantly raise temps with those types if wattage your using
