You will need a 5.0 reptiglo or reptisun bulb. i would also recommend a natural sun bulb for extra ambient light. the brighter in the enclosure, generally, the happier your cham will be. check out the site, iits the ebst and they will have any light your looking for

You will need a 10.0, and I would use the ZooMed lamps. If you are in the UK go with the Arcadia or ZooMed brands. The Arcadia lamp will be called a D3plus I think?

Ok cool thanks n yer I'm in the uk so a 10.0 would be better I take it is because the material will block some of the uv's ? And the sunlight 100w should be fine yeah ? Thanks
