Hey first time posting on here, I have my veiled chameleon's cage almost entirely set up, I just need the long uvb light and the red night light. I was going to just turn off all the lights at night because I live in CA and it doesn’t go below 65, but my Rango is being a diva and demands a light...

...What is more challenging is understanding WHY we do the things we do or don't do. I hear time and time again that we shouldn't use red lights with chameleons. Seems like this is the standard norm in chameleon husbandry. I was just curious why that is? What is it about the red lights that is...

I have a exo terra 50watt infrared that I got roped into buying just wondering since I got the linear lights could I still use that red light for basking(DURING THE DAY) or should I just switch to incandescent? Just to make it clear I do not use any lights at night.

Hey folks! So a while back I had trouble with my plant. Long story short, I recently bought a grow light to help it recover. When I turned it on, I noticed half the bulbs are red and i can't remember: are certain color lights bad for my chameleon's eyes? I've attached pics of the light (sorry...

so I just got a 2 week old ambilobe panther chameleon, and I read on some places that its a good idea to have a red heat bulb for the night time for these guys since they are from Madagascar and its pretty hot there. just wanted to hear your input on whether or not I should use one

So, I've heard red lights aren't as good daytime heat bulbs as other heat bulbs (like blue) that give off both heat and light. I read that chameleons typically see the sun and climb up towards a basking place to get warm, and since red lights don't really give off light, the chameleons typically...

Right now I have an 18" Slimline UVB bulb along with a red heating bulb, currently in use because my white bulb burned out for whatever reason. The heat is in the low-mid 80s; does it matter if the bulb is red as long as the heat generated is appropriate? Or should I replace the white bulb ASAP?

Well I am really needing a red/black light for some picky Madagascar hissing roaches. If any one has one they are willing to give up contact me. I will pay for shipping. as long as it is red/black, provides 80 degree heat and works I really would appreciate it. I can possibly if you live in...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this light is? I doesn't say anything on it besides 13w and the name. I bought a hole box of stuff for Chams from some guy and I have no clue what this one is for. Also it doesn't really get hott. But if anyone could help me out that would be...

Do Chameleon's have the ability to see red light? From my understanding reptiles can't see the red light emitted by the red bulbs. I've been reading around on the forums and some people say they can't sleep with the light on because they need total darkness. Some say they can't see it. What do...
