Roughly how tall are adult, fully grown male panthers?

Google is only giving me how long they are, and occasionally how wide they are lol. Im having a hard time getting a straight answer on if I need to account for their height regarding the “6-8” distance basking branch” rule of thumb due to the fact I have a halogen bulb so it sits higher in the dome ie; there is a natural few inch gap between the top screen and the bulb. Temp gun is giving me a range of 84-90F on the branch, I believe im about 7” away from the screen.

TLDR: Do I need to target my basking temps slightly lower than the recommended range in order to account for the x amount of inches tall the chameleon will be?

Sorry for the long winded post, my boy is arriving hopefully later this week and this is about the last thing I had a question on, really dont want him to get a burn!
