Hello guys, I went to this local chameleon breeder and he had 50+ panther chams, 10+ parsons, and bunch of pigmy chams.
However, none of them had heating bulb on them. All chams had their own UVB light fixture (bout 18inch I guess), misting system which sets for twice a day, and a small fan that circulates the air to dry out the unnecessary moisture.
The place was pretty warm around 25 degree celcius and moist environment.
I wonder if it is okay to neglect the heating bulb because UVB light somehow create heat source for the cage and the environment itself is kept in appropriate temperature. The guy I met strongly suggested me to not use heating bulb for future environments. He has been in this hobby for over 10+ years and all of his chams looked extremely gorgeous and healthy.
Please comment if you disagree with this idea.(also please comment if anyone actually use this method.)
