Suggestions?

[buddygilly]

I recently redid the enclosure for my adult male veiled chameleon. I have a reptisun T5 HO uvb bulb, a mistking, and a homemade dripper. I also have 2 fake rock walls made with sprayfoam. For plants i have a ficus, dracenea, large and small pothos, and an airplant. Are there any suggestion for things that i could add or takeaway from my setup?

Welcome to the forum.

Overall set up looks good. Just be aware with a T5HO fixture and a 5.0 bulb you want the highest branch below this fixture to be 9 inches away from in to be in the correct UVI level.

You may want to consider adding a 6500 T5 daylight bulb or a jungle dawn led light bar for plant lighting. You will find that the plants will slowly start dying off without this.

Light, more light. Not additional UVB, but 6500k daylight as @Beman mentioned.

Otherwise, it looks outstanding!

Do you think this plant light will be enough for the 24x24x48 cage?

Those work well. I have something similar. I run two daylight bulbs and then a UVB. You could start with one and see how the plants do.

I also run two daylight bulbs and a uvb. One of my daylights is a linear bulb and the other one is an LED.

Thanks for the suggestions! I ordered the lights today and hopefully my plants will do better now!?

You don’t have to, but it seems like the top could overall use a few more branches. Looks awesome though!

Enclosure looks awesome! And like the others said some more lighting will be perfect. Nice work!
