Best UVB to get by

[Countryside Chams]

Ok guys I have three 48" fixtures and Arcadia bulbs on order and they are supposed to be here next week. I'm picking up a male and female this weekend and am wondering what is the most cost effective way to get by until the Arcadias get here? Should I get another fixture and bulb to cover the tanks or just get a couple of dome fixtures and use the compact UVB bulbs. Or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

D3 is stored up in the body, and loss is slow over time.

If your new chameleons have had the lighting they need prior to purchase, and the lizards are more than a few weeks old, you can safely wait until your lights arrive next week without purchasing something else for the meanwhile.

Best uvb bulb is the sun so get them outside to get some sunlight.

I just want to know how large your cages are to require 48" light fixtures.

One fixture to cover two cages. More cost effective.
