Hi again! Just continuing my research and preparation for the arrival of my new baby Panther and had some questions about lighting. I'm sure they've been asked a million times so apologies but couldn't find the answers when I searched through previous threads.
1. UVB - It seems like the general consensus is to go with a Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 18" Tube so this is what I will be getting.
- What sort of housing/fitting/controller should I be buying to put this tube in?
2. Basking / Heat Lamp - As far as I can see, I should be getting a 100W bulb.
- Is there any particular type/brand I should get?
- Is there a particular type of holder/reflector/controller I need for this?
- Will the holder be OK resting on the top of the cage or should it be in a stand a few inches above?
3. I'm based in the UK. Are there any companies/websites who sell chameleon supplies that any other UK-based members have used and would reccommend?
I know there's loads of questions there but I just want to make sure that everything is absolutely perfect before I get my Cham. Massive thanks in advance!
