Should I get another light?

[htownsoccer00]

Hello, I'm fairly new to chameleons but am quite educated on their care. I just am wondering about the light for my enclosure. It is about 2x2x4 with two lights; a Zoo Med 75w basking lamp and a Zilla slimeline 18" tropical fixture. My basking spot is around 95° and the gradient is near 75°. But at night it drop to between 60° and 65°. Should I get a light for the night time?

No. that temp drop is fine. they like it.
And is the tropical fixture a uvb light? meaning did it say uvb on the bulb box?

I thought so, just double checking. And yes, I wanted to get the reptisun 5.0 but my spending money was limited.

Ok. just keep in mind, that bulb wont last as long. It may stay lit for a long time, but it will stop puttin gout uvb rays in probably 4 months.
we normaly reaplace our reptiglo and suns every 6 months.

I do understand and appreciate the help.
Thanks!

someone else had a thread with a similiar fixture (desert). They did mentioned that it did have a plastic cover for the bulb. They then had to remove it in order to not have it filter out the uvb light. Does yours have this plastic?
