Heat bulbs

[Michaela_pett]

so I keep buying heat bulbs and they all burn out super quickly. My last one burnt out in one day so I did a whole bunch of research and found one with everything my chameleon needs and it had pretty good reviews so I ordered it... while I wait for it to come in would a normal house bulb hurt my chameleon. I only want to use it to keep her warm while I’m waiting for the new one to come in.

You can use a normal household bulb. One without LED. You don’t really need a special basking bulb.

Most people use normal household incandescent bulbs. Just not LEDs, they won't work.

Thank you guys so much... do the normal household bulbs produce any UVA?

no, you need a separate bulb for uvb, do you have one?

I do have a separate bulb that produces UVB. but if the household bulb does not produce UVA is it okay to leave it in there for the few days I wait for my new bulb

I keep buying heat bulbs but they keep burning out in a day so I bought a good one online but for now I’m using a household bulb in place of the heat bulb for the time being and I’m just wondering if it produces UVA rays because I already have the UVBs

no it dosen't you should just be using the house bulb, the uvb bulb, and a grow light if necesary. Which uvb bulb is it?
