Here is a picture of the bulb and the package. They are just plain halogen flood lights I purchased a Walmart. I use a the bulb holder with a ceramic holder that I purchased at the pet store. Keep in mind that this wattage is way to strong, I am going to try a 40 or 50watt.
My basking spot is 90 to 95, depending on the day, we live in Canada and it is freezing outside so I need one this large to achieve the temps I am looking for.
As for the halogen bulbs, I had no idea how hot they got because I have never used one so I picked up a 90w flood light and put it in...
I seen a thread on here that has a link that shows you all of the safe plants for a chameleon and it has pictures of all the plants also. I have done a search and I can't find this thread, if anybody knows of this link I would appreciate it.

He just finished shedding again and he never shed in the same spot again. Here is a picture of him after the shed, sorry it is not in focus but i had to rush because as soon as I open the door he trys to climb out. I was under the assumption that they only shed twice a year when they reach adult...
