Does it emit heat too? Exo Terra Reptile UVB

At a recommendation I bought this UV bulb: Exo Terra Reptile UVB 200; I was told by the clerk at the pet shop that this one serves both as a heat source and as a UVB lamp, which is something I am looking for as I would like to combine both in one if possible. But upon installing it I observed it casts very little - if any - heat and it seems to me I absolutely need a standard bulb as well because otherwise my chameleon could get too cold... Could you please help me out? Does this bulb serve as a heat source too, and if not, what is a reasonable combination for both purposes? I have a small baby furcifer pardalis therefore the space is pretty small. Thank you!
 
They give some heat, but not enough as for panther chameleon. You need to buy additional heat bulb.
Another thing is that Exo Terra Reptile UVB 200 will be much to strong with UVB levels. For panther chameleon you should use Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100. Even that one have very high levels 10 cm from bulb in 26W version (or 25W in Europe).
