First of all, hi guys.
So I'm wanting to upgrade my Veiled Chams enclosure he's pretty much grown out of it and I was wanting to build a custom enclosure for him around 5/6' tall and 3' wide/deep. I wanted to use 100% natural live plants so I know for that I need a decent light to keep those in shape, however the one I have is one I use for my chilli plants and it's a 125w CFL and I believe it's the 6500k version (red spectrum) and I'm pretty sure that it'd be far too potent for little guy!
Does anyone have any tips on lighting setups where I can still have decent UVB production for my Chameleon, as well as good lighting for the plants without turning him into a kebab?
Sorry for the long paragraph guys
Cheers
Rhys
