Not glass, I have the screen one luckily. The Zoo Med Reptibreeze XL (24x24x48) Lights: I’m planning on getting two of these grow light fixtures. They each are on chains that would hang from the ceiling so I could lower them down to make it a bit warmer as the little guy gets older. Sunblaster...

That's a great point about location, I'm so used to having indoor pets that don't really care about what it's like outside! Since I live in the midwest, which varies wildly from -30 in winter to 105 in summer (two weeks ago it was 80 degrees out, two days ago it snowed) it might work best with...

Aww that's such a cute reason for a name! I'm so glad she's come so far. I got my Jynx, who's solid black shorthair, when I was kinda in a rough spot, and of course, black cats are supposedly bad luck. So she was the opposite of a curse for me, so Jynx for the irony of course. She's also pretty...

This is such an outpouring of support, honestly this forum is one of the most positive places on the internet I've ever seen <3 I am thrilled with any and all help I can get, a mentor would be fantastic. I'd rather ask stupid questions than risk messing up on something! To be quite honest I have...

Oh wow, every response here is gold. I love how half of it is more logical and the other half is just more personal and 'I just like this one better not sure why', exactly what I wanted!! I'm still torn, they both are fascinating, but I think I'm leaning a bit more toward a panther. I love...

Oh sweet, they're probably a bit lighter too so it wouldn't strain the screen as much. I had a screen pull out from the top of my Ball Python cage from the light fixtures weight. Walked past the room and the snake was completely out of the cage trying to work his way up my curtains! Everyone...

Perfect, keeps it even simpler for me! In that case, would a simple cheap clamp light like from Walmart work as enough of a reflector? (Example) I live in the midwest and honestly I almost always keep my apartment pretty toasty. Low 70s range. So I'd probably start with the 65 or 50 then? I...

Perfect! I'm glad I was at least on the right track lol So just to make sure I got this, you would recommend getting two of the sun blasters, switching out of of those bulbs for a T5 Zoo Med and keeping one of the bulbs as a grow light, and adding just a regular ceramic heater as a basking...

I found a lot of other options for the light fixture, they all seem to hold either only one bulb or like four! These seem to be the most reasonable ones I've been able to find off a cursory search. With each of these, I would switch out one of the grow lights for a Zoo Med T5 Sunblaster 2ft The...

Thank you so much, that's a good point! I don't really have a green thumb, the only plants I've managed to keep going are a pair of aloes in with my leopard geckos. Those seem to thrive!

Hello! Don't worry, I don't have a chameleon yet! I'm just wanting to check everything before I get the lighting for him. Background: I have a 24x24x48 Exo Terra XL, and am planning on getting a Veiled or Panther chameleon soon. I've posted before about lighting questions, however, coming back...

Hello! I am trying to decide what kind of chameleon to get. I've had an Exo Terra XL (48x24x24) sitting unopened for a month or so now because I know I want to get a chameleon, I just want to be sure I have everything perfect first! I'm about to order lights, and I'm wading through bunches of...

If you like both of them so much, I’ll probably just grab both a heat gun and the solarameter! I’m also going to get a couple of thermometer probes for it to set in the basking spots and general areas around it just to keep a constant eye on them. Don’t worry! I’m only planning on getting the...

I was planning on getting a little nightstand so I can put the bucket underneath behind a closed door. I have three cats who like to get into EVERYTHING, so I’m just making sure I have one tall enough they can take mess with it! I have some black landscape fabric I was planning on making a...

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry about the bit of confusion! You made perfect sense, don't worry. Would you recommend getting a solarmeter and the heat gun, or would one be definitely preferable to the other? Most places list 85-95 degrees as the basking temperature, do you find that fairly...
