my vieled liked jade a whole lot.

I ended up just going with a 5.0 bulb and down sizing the cage as a whole. thanks for advise all. :)

Im about to build a canopy myself and was debating using VHO bulbs. I used VHO over my reef tank setup a long time and was very pleased by the quality of the bulbs. I am curious to use them over my cham enclosure.

Im about to start building a canopy for my chameleons enclosure. Its an open air iguanarium? cage that measures 36x48x18. I have a chinese rose Hibiscus in the cage that I need strong enough lighting during the long wisconsin winter. I am curious if anyone else uses VHO bulbs and what sort...

I had a reptileUV metal halide bulb and it works great and animals love to get under it but it is a very strong bulb, I only had a 75w bulb over my cage and it was still to much. I was out of town for two days and the mount must have slipped or been moved and my cham got sun burned. I...

http://premiumtortoises.com/star.aspx couldnt find a price, I saw they want like 2000$+ for a alba tort baby. yikes

if it takes them 50 years to get to mating age, I better start now. I have about as much luck to see some galop babys as I do my social security :P slim and none lol

I was using a repti5.0 tube UV bulb and my chameleon had crusty/sore eyes, Id remove the light and in 2 days his eyes would heal. Concluded it was photo-kerato-conjunctivitis. Heres a link about the study about it. http://www.uvguide.co.uk/phototherapyphosphor.htm. Most of the study was done...

My reasoning is that you would want to replicate the natural sun as close as possible. And I am able to do that with the reptileuv product. The cage is 48x36x24 with a tall ficus to climb on combined with vines and then the lower area is a ficus and a jade.

I live in wisconsin, USA. Where are you from?

the 3rd post in I said I was using a maetal halide UV/heat bulb :p

Its kewl guys, I know that last thing anyone want to see is a sick cham, as far as why I dont like tubes ,the tube bulbs are supposedly only good for 3 months and the metal halide for 2years+ so its a bit of money saved and one burned his eyes a bit, and I used to do saltwater reefs, 150g and a...

yes it is.

I guess you guys never heard of retileuv before. Or tried their products. Ive been using it for a 4 months and my cham is very healthy.

I know about UV,D3, lighting ect., reason I started the thread was to see what other people are running. There are a few options beside the tubes, there VHO's and plus beside a UV bulb you should fill the whole spectum out, which would work for LED setups or who knows. I know with the LED setup...

http://www.reptileuvinfo.com/html/mega-ray-narrow-flood-report.htm theres the study on the reptileuv bulb, the tube floreceant gave my cham photo-kerato-conjunctivitis, which is why I looked for the better bulb.

the reptileuv metal halide is supposed to be the best bulb on the market + my cham is magnatized to it.

It was a 5.0 tube. Once I got rid of it every thing is perfect.

na they are just 6.5k bulbs to fill in the rest of the spectrum and add more light to his cage, plus they will keep his plants growing.

its the vieled in the picture and its an open cage so it doesnt get to hot. Metal halide only get to 87-88ish in the bask spot and the ambient air in in the mid to upper 70's. This bulb is way better than the floreceant I had, the 5.0 bulb was burning my chams eyes. Theres a couple good...
