I just ordered a 48X24X24 cage for my veiled cham. I was wondering if I need to get a 18 or 24 inch uvb bulb? 5.0 or 10.0? Also will be using a 60 watt housebulb for basking? Any advice on this would be great!
Thanks!
Hello!
I am about to order a drip system of some sort for my new veiled cham. I am using a spray bottle and placing ice cubes on too of cage for now. I want to know if it is standard to put something in drip system and spray bottle to get rid of the chlorine? Or is it safe to use tap water by...
Here is another pic of her temporary cage. I am trying to do the right thing until I can get her into a bigger screened cage. The UVB light I posted is the one I the back the other bulb is the basking bulb in front. All I'm asking is to get some advice on getting her set up properly with what I...
I am very aware of the tube light but keep in mind this is a 10 gallon vertical tank she is temp in. The top part of the cage is small so the mini dome lights is what I could find to use.
I had a zoomed 75 watt bulb but took it out and replaced with a 60 watt house bulb since I was informed that bulb was wrong.
I now have a Reptile UVB 150-13 watt exo terra bulb that I replaced with the red bulb.
Temp in basking spot is 85

I have another question for you if you don't mind. I will admit I got him at Petco as spur of the moment decision. I have had reptiles in the past so am familiar with them. The guy who sold him to me seemed to be very knowledgable so I took his advise on how...
Thanks again for all the help. I feel better now that I have the proper lighting. That's why I asked a lot of the same questions because I didn't have a good feeling about the set up I have now. I will be moving him to a larger screened cage soon.
I noticed you mentioned her? I am under the...
Here is a pic of set up. I just got a UVB bulb, it's the one to the left the other is the basking light. Are these in correct spot? Should I have one in front of the other?
I appreciate all the advice. Sorry for the idiocy on my end!

Sorry to sound like an idiot but is the bulb in picture not a UVB bulb? This tank came with two types of bulbs and they said keep red one on all the time ( which I know not to now) and other light on 12 hours a day. Is the one bulb sufficient for lighting?
Thank you!
