basking bulb for chameleons

[Stacey5089]

What is the best basking bulb to use for chameleons and would i use a different one for different species??

we all just use white household bulbs. Cheap and effective and the wattage depends on what kind of kind of chameleon and the age.

Agreed! Keep in mind the purpose is to put out heat, so there is no need to spend $30 on a heat source when a regular light bulb does the trick!
