    Whats the best type of heating for a chameleon setup???

    The reptisun uva/uvb florescent tube provides all its uva/uvb requirements as spotlight bulbs here dont provide uva in them!!! So wouldnt it be just the same by using a reptile radiator???

    Whats the best type of heating for a chameleon setup???

    ld be getting the light from my UV bulb and the heatpad would be to provide a basking source if you get me? Isnt that the same as using a baking bulb as the heatpad is creating the heat whilst the UV bulb would be creating the light?

    Whats the best type of heating for a chameleon setup???

    I still think a reptile radaitor would be better as if you put a dimmer or pulse stat directly underneath it you can control the basking temprature easier!!! But then the 2nd question still exists how do I make it waterproof??? could I cover it with aqwuarium sealant or wouldnt that work????
