Will this light benefit or not?

[Mlz825]

I have a 35 inch t12 6500k bulb just sitting around and i was wondering if i add this to my cham cage will it benefit her or just be too bright? She is around 4-5 months old and already has a 75w basking lamp and a 18inch reptisun 5.0..but there's alot of dark spots still ??

that is a good light to use if you have live plants. It is a grow light.

thanks a lot for the info....Do u know when im suppose to upgrade her uvb lighting?

 

[SMCNARY]

It is a good idea to change most uvb lights out every six months,some exceptions may apply. Do you have a 6-8 inch area at the top of the cage that is not obstructed so that she can bask and get good uvb exposure ?

on top of being a grow light that's very good for your plants it will also offer a huge amount of daytime light that's very pleasing to the eye

I mean when do i get a bigger uvb light because she only has a 18 inch right now?...and i believe it's 6-8 inches above her.

Depends on the size of your cage really. Is your uvb a 5.0? That is what really matters more so than the size. Most people try and have the uvb cover the length or width of the cage

Yea it's a reptisun 5.0

Sun Glo 35W halogen lamp

Hi,

I recently purchased a dual top from Exo Terra which comes with a 35W halogen lamp. Does anyone know if it safe for the eyes of a panther chameleon?

Thank you.
