    Our first Panther Chameleon. New to Chameleons

    linear bulbs are more recommended for the uvb to give a more wide spread of light cover, would also prevent the need to have 3 fixtures up top. and on another note im almost positive the soft white bulb is doing very little for your plants. you want a daylight bulb, soft white and cool white are...

    Ceramic or Basking Bulb?

    you need a basking bulb! chameleons realize light as a heat source as they would the sun in the wild. if you need more heat increase the wattage, or if you can safely move light or basking spot bit closer without risking burns do so.

    A little confused about lighting

    what thread were you reading? the thread i thought was the light bible when i first joined a year ago was the definitive lighting thread. (good read) t8's were the go to in the past and im sure a number of people still use them successfully. with t8s i might be thinking a 10.0 might be a better...
