I don't think that bulb provides heat, try a local petstore or order on amazon.

Yes you can get a bulb like that... You just need to make sure that it is not LED. With a 4 month old female you need to watch her temps though... No more then about 82 degrees for her. So make sure you have a temp gun to get exact measurements.This is what the lighting section of this group suggests... am I missing something? This is for a 4 month old veiled female.
Basking Bulbs
These bulbs are normal shaped incandscents and do not have UVB. They are used to create heat for reptiles to bask in for proper digestion and visible light. The wattage corresponds to the amount of heat and light (higher wattage = more heat). Generally a 40 or 60 watt bulb is appropriate. It should be a white light bulb.
This bulb is not correct as it is a mercury Vapor bulb. These are for very large enclosures because they provide higher levels of heat and UVB. We do not recommend these get used unless someone has a solarmeter 6.5 to measure exact UVI levels.I don't think that bulb provides heat, try a local petstore or order on amazon.

Your welcome hun. If you need to double check anything let us know. I was once in your shoes so I get it. You want the 5.0 bulb for the t5HO. Make sure they don't sell you a T8. Then have basking at about 7-8 inches down for her with this fixture sitting directly on top of the cage. I would by the 24 inch fixture if your going to upgrade her cage. The kit is a rather small cage for her when she gets bigger and needs a lay bin as well. Then at least you wont have to buy another T5HO when you get the new cage.I'm going to pick up my Zoo Med T5-H0 now..
I started with the dreaded "chameleon kit" and 2 days later am correcting everything! Thank you!

Yeah do not get the T8. It is of no use. So your going to want to order one online. You can get them pretty quick off amazon.Well, both pet stores are out of T5... the T8 is not recommended?
Not necessarily. A T8 with a 10.0, 12% or 14% is equal to a T5HO 5.0Yeah do not get the T8. It is of no use. So your going to want to order one online. You can get them pretty quick off amazon.
Actually it is not.Not necessarily. A T8 with a 10.0, 12% or 14% is equal to a T5HO 5.0
Ok. I respect your opinion.Actually it is not.

Do you have a shoe box? If so stick a twig or branch through one and put her in that with the lid closed while you're upgradingAnother question- I have a lot of things to change inside and outside of her enclosure. I've only had her for 2 days, so I don't want to super stress her. What should I do with hr while I add things? I'm hoping when I improve hr setup she'll be happier because she's very dark right now.
Exactly what Camo said... She will sleep while you work.Another question- I have a lot of things to change inside and outside of her enclosure.
