I got 2 florescent 6.5k bulbs and a 70w metal halibe UV/heat bulb. And a ceramic heater.
its the vieled in the picture and its an open cage so it doesnt get to hot. Metal halide only get to 87-88ish in the bask spot and the ambient air in in the mid to upper 70's. This buld is way better than the floreceant I had, the 5.0 bulb was burning my chams eyes. Theres a couple good articles about those bulbs and how they can be dangerous.
It was a 5.0 tube. Once I got rid of it every thing is perfect.
na they are just 6.5k bulbs to fill in the rest of the spectrum and add more light to his cage, plus they will keep his plants growing.
the reptileuv metal halide is supposed to be the best bulb on the market + my cham is magnatized to it.
Also Metal Halide bulbs are used mostly for Reef Aquariums. that need a huge output of light and heat. They are not recommended for use with reptiles especially chams. They are too hot and too bright for a cham. Use it if you want and don't take my advice or the advice of others on this forum but your cham will become unhealthy in a short time which will result in vet bills and the death of your cham.
I know about UV,D3, lighting ect., reason I started the thread was to see what other people are running. There are a few options beside the tubes, there VHO's and plus beside a UV bulb you should fill the whole spectum out, which would work for LED setups or who knows. I know with the LED setup you can simulate lunar cycles, cloud cover, rain,ect. Was just wondering if anyone took it that far.
