    confused (or behind the times...)

    no i've only heard glass for up to 3mo. for winter humidity you could cover a few of the sides with plastic sheeting to hold humidity, or a humidifier.

    worst of the worst

    the day my cham arrived from CA i got him out of the box and let him go in his cage, a bit later i took him out for a photo op and he fell on the ground and turned almost pitch black. even though he made no sound the only thing i could hear in my head was a crying baby

    Lighting?

    no im saying if your cages are 32" wide then get a 36" bulb that runs the length of the cages.

    Lighting?

    i would suggest a 36" so it fully covers all of the both cages. for basking i use exo-terra's spot bulb in the green box. im now using the 150w cuz its winter here, but during hte summer i use either a 50w or a coiled fluorescent.
