Hi!
Wondering if I should switch up the heating in my Veiled Chameleon's enclosure. I currently use a 60 or 65 watt daylight bulb. A coworker of mine recommended I use a Hallogen bulb that it gives off more heat at half the wattage. So like a 20 or 25 watt bulb equals to a 100 watt bulb. I'm trying it today, he uses them for his beardies and has had a chameleon in the past I believe. He said that it also contains some UVB as well. Is it too strong a heat for my chameleon? It's starting to get cold where I am, we try to keep the house to at least 70 but without using too much heat so it can get to 65 degrees sometimes. The Hallogen bulb was given to me by my coworker, apparently you can get a pack of 18 bulbs on amazon.com for $15, each lasting for up to 6 months or so. Any suggestions, advice, or opinions?
