natural sunlight?

[Dyslexictadpole]

Hi all,
I am planning on getting a panther chameleon and free-ranging him on a few trees right near a window that gets probably 8-10 hours of sunlight a day. Would I need supplemental UVB lighting for him, or would sunlight be enough?

thanks

You would have to have supplemental UVB lighting. Uvb can not penetrate the glass in windows. In fact screen will even reduce the strength of UVB lighting.
