I have a male Juvenile Veiled Chameleon in a 18w"x12d"x20h" screen cage. I will be making a much larger enclosure in a few months. I also will be purchasing a T5 ho for the new cage, possibly an Arcadia, but need something now for the smaller cage.
Will either one of these fixtures work?
Zilla Slimline Desert 50 UVB T8 Fluorescent Fixture
OR
Zilla Slimline Reptile Fluorescent Lighting Fixture with 3-Percent UVB Lamp, 18-Inch
I was going to use a T8 ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Fluorescent Bulb. Will this be enough UV lighting for him for now? Or should I get the Zoo Med T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB?
Or any recommendations? I will not buy a $80 fixture for this cage just to have to upgrade in a few months, and don't want it hanging over the sides. (I know I need more foliage, I didn't expect to buy a chameleon 2 days ago, lol)
