my vieled liked jade a whole lot.

I ended up just going with a 5.0 bulb and down sizing the cage as a whole. thanks for advise all. :)

Im about to build a canopy myself and was debating using VHO bulbs. I used VHO over my reef tank setup a long time and was very pleased by the quality of the bulbs. I am curious to use them over my cham enclosure.

Im about to start building a canopy for my chameleons enclosure. Its an open air iguanarium? cage that measures 36x48x18. I have a chinese rose Hibiscus in the cage that I need strong enough lighting during the long wisconsin winter. I am curious if anyone else uses VHO bulbs and what sort...

I had a reptileUV metal halide bulb and it works great and animals love to get under it but it is a very strong bulb, I only had a 75w bulb over my cage and it was still to much. I was out of town for two days and the mount must have slipped or been moved and my cham got sun burned. I...

I live in wisconsin, USA. Where are you from?

the 3rd post in I said I was using a maetal halide UV/heat bulb :p

Its kewl guys, I know that last thing anyone want to see is a sick cham, as far as why I dont like tubes ,the tube bulbs are supposedly only good for 3 months and the metal halide for 2years+ so its a bit of money saved and one burned his eyes a bit, and I used to do saltwater reefs, 150g and a...

yes it is.

I guess you guys never heard of retileuv before. Or tried their products. Ive been using it for a 4 months and my cham is very healthy.

I know about UV,D3, lighting ect., reason I started the thread was to see what other people are running. There are a few options beside the tubes, there VHO's and plus beside a UV bulb you should fill the whole spectum out, which would work for LED setups or who knows. I know with the LED setup...
