plants to many????

What do I use for heat then for my Cham ?

A simple old fashioned incandescent light bulb makes a great inexpensive basking bulb. Halogen works too, but LED does not.

This is what my pet store has ugh ??

Most of the pet stores near me are pretty much the same. I find it’s easier and quicker to just buy what I need from Amazon or other on line source.

unfortunately thats not suitable for a chameleon. The uvb is compact (no good) and the heat is usually too hot.

For heating: you just want a normal incandescant house bulb (bought at hardware store) and the hood electrical clamp thingy.
For uvb: you want a t5ho 6% linear fixture, buy arcadia or reptisun. it will cost about 50$. you can find some on amazon or walmart.

if its only a few days or aweek then it'll be fine until the t5 comes

That’s a mercury vapor bulb which is not recommended to use for chams unless you have a solarmeter. It can provide too much uvb. For plants, some use a linear T5 with multiple sockets and put 6400k plant lights in. I use these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TKKG8Q3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you aren’t putting in plants with high light needs you could get away with using something like this. https://www.amazon.com/SANSI-Spectr...ywords=Sansi+grow+light&qid=1596426697&sr=8-5

you really need only one.

There are more complicated setups where you can have more than one bulb but just buy one
