Buying everything

[ChameleonLady]

I just bought my cage and heat lamp hood and am searching for everything else I need to set up for a baby ambilobe panther. I know what items I need but if you feel strongly about something or a brand that is a must have, please let me know. I want to setup the perfect environment with the least amount of maintenance . Thanks in advance.

I recommend Arcadia bulbs for your UVB. I ran a ZooMed bulb in one cage an an Arcadia in the other once to see if there was a difference. After 4 months the UV output on the Arcadia was greater even though the bulb was two months older. I use a UV meter to check levels periodically. Light Your Reptiles (Forum Sponsor) is a great company to use- Todd will answer any questions you have.

I'm old school and use the Reptisuns except on a couple of my large free ranges and I have the Mega Rays there. I can tell you that I have seen too much UV bother babies eyes before and they would keep them closed and rub them on branches. Now for babies I use an old Reptisun that's only putting out about 8 to 10 and I haven't had any more eye problems.
