UVB lighting help

[Millie11]

I asked this question on a different forum, What is best to use a UVB tube light or a Powersun UVB? I was told locally the powersun is the best but I was just told on here that the Powersun is to strong, does anyone have advice?

 

[panther67]

Use the reptisun 5.0 tube

 

[Millie11]

Okay thank you, What do you think about halogen lights?

 

[panther67]

Chameleons eyes are sensitive so I would stick with the reptisun 5.0, not 10.0. And a basic daylight heat bulb for basking. What type of chameleon?

 

[Millie11]

Veiled chameleon and I was thinking about purchasing this

If you get a chance could you look at that and see if that system would be good for her

Deep dome is good, you put the basking light in it.
Basking area needs to be 6" at least from your veiled, you need to double check temps for her. Im a panther person. They need the heat from basking to aid in digestion and body function.
Did you look for jannb's info on new owners/ veileds?
Everything you need to learn will be there

I second everything Sontiger just said. I too am a panther person Jannb is great with veiled's.

I actually spent about 2 weeks researching I keep coming up on different information I only had 3 questions to ask which is why I came here, it seemed to me you weren't being friendly.

This is a great forum with LOADS of info and all you have to do is a search and I can almost guarantee any question you have has already been answered. Theres no reason to get your feelings hurt you just started 2 different threads on the same subject that was already answered.

 

[Millie11]

Just wanted different opinions since that's what I keep getting.
