I have a Dragonstrand Large Atrium enclosure (clearsided), 45.25"w x 22.5"d x 44.25"h that was for my adult male Veiled chameleon, George. Sadly, he passed recently, but the enclosure was well-planted, so I've kept the lights and water going for the plants. I thinking now of getting a Panther. I would be looking for a 3-5 month old juvenile. I have a couple questions about the enclosure.
First, would a juvenile chameleon be OK in an enclosure this large? I do have a 16"w x 16"d x 24"h Reptibreeze. (I installed Dragon Ledges, and set it up when George was younger as a trial run before doing the big enclosure.) But it would need to be replanted. (And I would still need to light and water the plants in the large enclosure to keep the plants going.) But if the size of the large enclosure would be a problem for a juvenile, I could use the smaller one.
Second, the large enclosure is lit with a quad 48" T5HO fixture with 1 Arcadia UVB, 1 Arcadia plant bulb, and 2 6500k (daylight) bulbs. (Plus an incandescent for heat.) For my Veiled, I was advised to get the 12% UVB Arcadia 48" T5HO bulb. For a Panther, should I replace that with their 6% bulb?
