Just wondering if anyone has tried using an Arcadia deep heat projector on a chameleon's basking spot. Arcadia claims that it "mimics heat from the sun and provides heat deep into the muscle tissue" and it projects infrared A and B. I bought one for my leopard gecko and I've noticed that he's out and about quite a bit more, even during the day since I switched to the deep heat projector from my under tank heating pad. Of course, any overhead heat source might encourage the same behavior since he now has to bask on the flat rocks in order to get belly heat. I use a Fluker's fixture with a lamp dimmer to regulate the temp. I'm wondering if there would be advantages to using this for a chameleon to bask under.
I think it's a fairly new product, so I doubt too many people have attempted it. Their claims about its benefits are pretty interesting though.
