Best bang for the buck?

Hey peeps. I just wanted to know if you think if this is a good set up for my panther chameleon.

It's a decent kit, but when mine was a baby I pieced mine together for cheaper, and ended up with a bigger cage. I stated with a 18x18x36 so I did not have to upgrade in just a few months like that small one. Almost everyone will tell you to not waste your money on the Habba Mister. Mist king is WAY better.

I'm going to wind up buying the kit. I already have a 18x18x36 cage though should I just set that up instead of the smaller one that comes with the kit?

I'm not trying to tell you how to spend your money, but if you already have a cage, that kit is not worth it.
You can get these from LLLREPTILE, or your local petshop
5.0 bulb-19.95
Hood-29.95
Flukers dome with dimmer switch- 12.79
Repashy calcium+ Great all in one duster. No more worrying about which supplement/multivitamin you need to use-8.99
Temp gun- 25.99
Basking bulb- Use any regular house hold bulb 40-75 watt. Im sure you already have some. If the 75 is to hot, just turn it down with the dimmer switch.
Timer- Homedepot/lowes has a two pack- 8.00
A couple of the bendable vines from flukers 6.99
Mistking from marty/ ALOT better than the Habba mister-100.00

That's giving you some better products than what comes with the kit, and you still have at least 50 dollars leftover to spend on feeders, etc.

i second this... mistking is on a completely different level from habbamist

Sounds good. I appreciate the time and consideration. Looks like you sold me on not buying the kit lol.
