Are night bulbs ok for chameleons

I was wondering if night bulbs are ok for chameleons

You don't want to use any of the red or blue bulbs (or any "bulb" really) at night. Even the bulbs that say they are for night and it won't disturb your animal will not work for chameleons. Basically, if you can see light coming off of it, your chameleon will and it will disturb her/him. If you're enclosure gets too cold at night you can use a ceramic heat emitter, but be very, very careful with them! Your chameleon won't recognize its there and can basically cook overnight if the heat emitter is too close to it. You're ususally better off leaving no heat source at night as most need a temp. drop at night to be at their best.
Make it a great day,
