New to this all...HELP

[JoeCoolTM]

ok well im in the process of gettin my little guys cage ready for him and ive been reading and researching alot and am still confused on bulb. I have the basking one already but do i need a uvb, uva, or incandescent because ive read ALL kinds of conflicting stuff that say yes for one bulb and no to the others. i just dont want the little guy to die because of a wrong light :/ so any help is appreciated also! not just about the lights. THANKS!

A reptisun 5.0 linear bulb and an incandescent basking bulb works well. The incandescent will provide plenty of UVA

you need two lights like pssh said. A basking light for heat can be just a regular house lightbulb or a special more expensive bulb that does pretty much the same job and a 5.0 uv tube light. Stay away from the coil style flourescent lights as they have been know to cause eye problems in the past.

What kind of chameleon are you getting and how old? It matters when you're setting up. Also you need to know which supplements to use.
