Will this work for my veiled chameleon someone told me it wont work

I do not recommend any coil bulbs for two reasons. It points straight down and only covers a very small area and it can bother your chameleons eyes. The eye problem was suppose to be fixed years ago but there’s still some experienced keepers that’s seen that bulb causing their chameleons to close their eyes.
I recommend the Reptisun 5.0 tube style bulb.

Those bulbs suck. For the reasons stated above, and that style of bulb doesn’t last very long. They do poorly under fluctuating heat and humidity.

I used the arcadia equivalent of that lamp for a year in a horizontal fixture + reflector (which is kinda a must) and it worked without issues...

Still can't speak for the quality of the zoo med lamp, if you ask me arcadia is the better brand...

And why 10.0?
