The best for the chameleon IMO:
The current fixture, with one UVB, and one plant light.
A dome light for basking.

Alright that should make things a lot easier in the long run for me then and not have to worry about the CFL bulb then. I have repti-glo 5.0 bulbs right now. Maybe I will use these up then switch to the Repti-sun or would I be better off going to Reptisun right away?
This bulb: http://www.amazon.com/Flukers-Repta...PWKC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328496670&sr=8-2
Or: http://www.amazon.com/Reptisun-5-0-...s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1328496720&sr=1-15
Or are they the same just different Manufacturers?

Sounds good. They sre essintially the same. But I have not heard a review on the flukers bulb. Reptisun is most recomended by far. People with UV meters report better readings from them overall. Maybe someone more experienced with them, or lights in general could well, shed some light on the subject

Well I switched the halogen bulbs and added a dome fixture to the back of the habitat. Moved the other fixture all the way to the front and the back bulb still hits where all the vines are. I will have to go find me a plant grow bulb tomorrow for the front to get the other UVB bulb out of there.

So tonight I plan on re-making the terranium. I plan on adding the grow bulb. Also need to pick up a basking bulb as the 60w bulb isn't putting out much heat at all. I am also going to be adding the Pothos plant and taking out the foam background that is in the tank right now. I plan on adding vines coming down and across from left from to right rear and vice versa. I have 1 heavier duty vines as well as some smaller vines that can be arranged in numerous different ways. I am hoping this will make him feel more at home. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures tonight when its all done to get feedback from everyone.

Alright I re-vamped the enclosure for Hercules. Here are the updated photo's. Please Critique and let me know of anything I should change or think about doing to make it better. Thank you in advance.
The plant on the bottom left is a pothos plant. I am running a basking bulb in the back left corner and with the fixture I am running I have a plant grow bulb in the front of the fixture and a repti-glo 5.0 bulb in the back of the fixture. I am planning on getting a Repti-sun 5.0 bulb next. Thanks in advance.
Sorry the picture quality isn't the best but I needed to hurry up and get some pics before the lights turned off.

Well everything seems to be fine. Every time I go check out the cage he seems to have moved to a different spot in the cage and so forth. Seems to be happy and is eating crickets and drinking water. So I am assuming he is okay with his new digs and the layout.
