Hi I have many Panther chameleons. Looking for other suggestions that people use for theirs for their heat lamps. Thank you very much

I have been using halogens. Low wattage 25. Wondering if there was another way to go

I always recommend a regular house hold bulb....not the coil kind.

I've been using the halogens just because he seemed to have a better color. I only use the 25 watts ones . Right now ambient temperature is at 80 in my basement but the winter drops more. I have one of those climate controls I was thinking to hook up for the winter with a heater do you think that would work. Thank you very much for your advice

Well, I use a 75 watt but if it is 80 now that is good!! The bad part is that you need a hotter one for winter. Just keep mind of the seasons and you'll be fine

I can point you to an incandescent bulb that is inexpensive and reptiles love for basking, but they will cost you $8 each, every 3 to 4 months.
Why not use a full spectrum household bulb or basking bulb, such as those by zoomed. Look for things labeled daylight, between 5000k and 6500k.
