Randy was trying to hide whatever he was looking at online. He minimized the window before I could see it. Now my computer is full of viruses...time to turn on the parental internet controls.

Well I suppose I probably will go with a 10.0 unless anyone can give me a compelling reason not to. I'd like to have the security of the 5.0 but with him being regularly 10" or more away from it, and the 5.0 only putting out uvb up to 12" away, i don't have much of a choice.
I know this is a topic covered a lot but I need expert opinions, not pet store employee's, My logic tells me that the 5.0 isn't going to be enough, esp if he's regularly 12" (which is the max distance for the uvb on the back of the 5.0 box) away from the bulb. he'll probably be an average of at...
I do like that exoterra bulb, I may have to look into that. So if I used one of them I'd be combining my basking bulb and uva/uvb, all into one? How often would they need replacement?

Ok, i'm understanding everything now. the first is the repti sun 5.0 compact bulb,
I actually made a mistake when i bought mine. I bought a flukers "repta...
can you please give more info on the compact vs linear tube? I've heard that the compact is potentially bad for the cham. but if it's the "new" style, it's ok. what is this "new style"? mine looks like a spiral bulb like the new long lasting low energy bulbs, its kinda vented at top, and says...
My cham shed probably 2 weeks ago. I went to the vet about 1 week ago, and have since given him 1 drop of baytril a day and rubbed some nyastatin on his mouth 2-3 times a day to clear up a bacterial infection the vet told me he had. Since then, everything's been normal besides the parimiters...
I see, hmm I usually mist in a way as to not get him wet, he really hates the water. Where can i find the reptisun bulb thread? I'll try to search. I just bought the bulb a month ago, so I would hope that it's new. It actually sits about 2" away from the screen at it's closest point, and...
Thanks for your reply,
I completely agree, I want him to have a natural environment. The umbrella plant kinda scares me. It didn't have anything on it besides "umbrella plant" I bought it at Home Depot. NOWHERE has any nicely sized live plants, let alone a selection. It's in the middle...
Hello, my name's Nick while I'm not new to reptiles, this is my first chameleon. I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to keep him healthy and happy. I recently purchased a 5/6 month old Panther Chameleon from a semi local private breeder about a month ago. Since then he's been very...
