Basking bulb for Veiled Chameleon

[jstrazishar]

Is a reptile daylight basking bulb okay to use for a veiled chameleon? That’s what I’ve been using since I got him, but this image doesn’t say they’re okay to use.

Are you talking about the intense spot heat bulbs by zoomed and exoterra?

I mean you can just the quality isn’t that great. They burn out fast and way to expensive for no reason. The GE plant light works great and haven’t had problem for months

I think they are talking about the blue light?

This is what I am currently using, not the daylight bulb. Sorry I got mixed up.

Do you know about what wattage I should be using in an incandescent bulb?

Depends on your setup, your ambient temps, and age of your veiled. Everyones going to fluctuate. I always recommend staring with a 25w for babies and 50w for juveniles.
