Now if you run LED's you have to be careful because they run warm. Does your pro t5 have 1 or 2 bulbs?

If you are running only this one you can do the LED's or the spot

 

[Chameleomom]

The reason I asked because some come with a 6% and 6500 plant bulb

 

[Chameleomom]

Just the LED;s are going to run warmer and the cool thing about the spot is it has its own built in fan to keep it cool

Ok so storytime I just asked my parents if I can buy 200$ worth of more lighting (3 - one for each cage) and they said no. I said why and they said because you've been raising live plants fine inside their cages for 2 years without any problems WITHOUT JUNGLE LIGHTS. They have a point. For the past 2 years i've raised live plants in there without any problems with the plants.

Ok so why are you worried about it now? did all this come from the basking bulb? with that you will have to try different watts to see what gives you the correct basking temp 9 inches down. If you hold your hand to the screen and can't keep it there for a minute the baby will burn itself because they love to hang upside down for some reason from the top

Ok i'm an idiot if he can climb to the tippy top of a stick in his cage he can reach the screen. I acc have a light stand so the heat bulb will go on that

 

[NashansCamos]

still even if the heat bulb is suspended like 6 inches above the cage won't it still be too hot for him at 6 inches close?

 

[Chameleomom]

won't it still be too hot for him at 6 inches clos

Depends on what basking bulb you put in. That is why I said you need to check your temps before the baby even gets there
