Need a little help with lighting

[hetzell1991]

Okay, so basically my question is do I need two lights for each cage? I've been looking and all the bulbs are either the incandescent that produce visible light, heat, and UVA. Then there are the spiral bulbs that produce the UVB. Do I just need one of each or is there a bulb that covers all the bases? Thanks for your input!

You need at least two.

A 18"+ linear bulb that provides UVB (reptisun is a good brand to start with) with a fixture that can support one, and a standard 40-60 watt incandescent bulb to provide for basking. Avoid the coil/spiral bulbs. Chameleons are capable of regulating both heat and UVB absorbtion, so an all-in-one bulb is not need, and can be detrimental.
