How much UVB?

[Lamour]

I currently have a 10.0 uvb (recommended by my vet), a 6500k daylight plant bulb and a 5.0 uvb for my cham cage and it seems like a lot of lights. The plant light is only on for about 4 hours but should I take off the 5.0 so there is less uvb lighting or is that much ok?

On a side note, I am looking into getting a crested gecko. If my cham is out (or the gecko) and they see each other will my cham get mad (puff up and everything)?

It is either or and not both for the uvb. Most of us use the 5.0 and not the 10.0 but some do. Your 6500K is a tube right? What are you using for heat source/basking bulb? He may or may not be bothered by the gecko.. You will have to try and see.

The 6500k is a coil i believe, like the uvb ones. I have a 75w exo terra basking bulb for his heat spot. It stays around 90 on his highest vine there so its not making it too hot so far.
