I'd like to know your opinions on the use of basking lights.

Am i correct in my theory, that if the vivarium temperature is around mid 20°C, there's no need to turn it on. Its for a juvenile veiled chameleon?

I read conflicting reviews that its supposed to be for 12hrs like the UVB lights!

Many thanks for any help you can give me on the above matter.

no you don't need a basking bulb until adulthood. I don't even use a basking bulb for my adults and my temps are still 77-85. Its about temps not the bulb
