I recently acquired a juvenile, and what I believe to be, a female veiled chameleon. I am looking for feedback and/or criticism on my setup. The large 4' light fixture on top contains a reptisun 10.0 as well as a 6500K bulb for plant growth. The reptisun 10.0 sits 10 inches from the hanging pathos and between 16-30 inches from the top of the bottom three plants. One debate I had was removing the pathos all together as it is a limiting factor in reference to the closest distance between the UVB and the top of the plant. I chose the 10.0 in hoping for a better UV penetration (which I believe is 20 inches at the maximum) to the lower plants. One of the lower plants in the corner does sit a little further away in the corner which I do have a 100w MVB hanging over (I did read on MVB use and veiled chameleons but I would like to hear any thoughts on their use). I don't know if that is too much UVB or not (between the reptisun and the MVB), I just have anxiety over not allowing her to be exposed to enough UVB throughout the entire setup. I do plan on ordering a UV meter so I can get an idea. I have two basking areas. The one furthest to the left is between 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit and the one in the corner (which is the MVB) is set between 91-95 degrees Fahrenheit and the other plants are just ambient room temperature which ranges between 73-80 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the location. I am hoping this provides enough of a temperature gradient to allow proper thermoregulation. Everything in the entire setup is moveable and adjustable to any height. I would really appreciate any feedback so I can provide her with the best possible set up as I can. Thank you.
