Hello, recently i have put up a new terrarium for my veiled cham. Terrarium measures 60x45x90 and its from glass and mesh. For lighting i am using Arcadia 7% UVB shade dweller, Jungle dawn 15W LED bar, and for heating spot there is reptizoo lamp and basking light. For water i am hand spraying once a day some days i skip and at night there i use repti planets digital fogger. Lights and fogger are on timers so i dont have to worry about that. To keep track of thing i use digital thermometer and hydrometer with probe. The theme is to be like a jungle so the floor has a substrate and fallen sticks. Feeding cup on the ground is for me to put crickets in not water. There is also arboreal feeder from repti planet if i want to feed salad or worms. Big plant provides enough coverage for hiding spot and also makes shade on the right side of the terrarium, the bottom has two ficus plants, one is new and one he already mostly ate in old terrarium. There is good amount of vertical stick and few horizontal with few levels for him to regulate his temperature. Its placed next to a window so he also gets a natural sunshine. Now its winter but when days get warmer i will put another plant outside for him to climb it and get even more sun. For suplemets i use Arcadias EarthPro-Ca and EarthPro-A. Right now i feed him mostly crickets and smaller locusts, occasionally worms to change thing up. I have attached pictures and i am waiting for criticism whether its good or bad or a few tips.

Well thats interesting, you can daisy chain the T5 and the LED together, infact looks like you can daisy chain 10 together, which kinda makes sense since that would be 80 watts tops. Still im not convinced that 1 8 watt UVB is enough for that sized cage, it doesnt even go half way across diagonally.

Is it just me, or does this "7%" put out squat? If im reading the chart right, its only putting out .65 UVI at 1 foot. In fact at no point is it putting out even arcadia's recommended 3.0 UVI.

AH HA. Its just a T5, It is not a T5HO. I really dont think these are chameleon recommended...
