Heat for Baby Chams

[Gray]

Hi, I was going to get an ExoTerra intense basking bulb, but it says it stimulates breeding, which i don't want.
What heat bulb for baby chams would you recommend?

A bulb won’t stimulate breeding. Changes in temperatures do. Any bulb will work but the wattage you get depends on the temps the Cham you’re getting needs. Also, don’t get red, blue, or any night bulbs. Despite what the manufacturers say, they can see these and it messes with their sleep cycle.

Ok, i was just wondering because the box says it simulates that.

Use a normal incandescent house bulb for basking. Its cheaper and provides better lighting in my opinion. You just need to play with different wattage bulbs to get the desired temp.

How many chameleons are you planning on getting? If they are older than 2 months old, they should be in separate enclosures to reduce stress and territoriality. This also eliminates any possible breeding/ inbreeding.
