HELP! Is she sick?

[Grasshopper]

So not this one?

Again, this is the fixture you need:
Zoo Med 26053 Reptisun T5-Ho Terrarium Hood, 24" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQU8F2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jIbJCbNYJR72H

It sometimes comes with a 5.0 bulb so if it does, take that out because for your veiled you need a 10.0:

No, don't get that, it's useless.

 

[Beman]

So not this one?

NO

 

[Grasshopper]

If I was to get one like this but for double bulb could I add a heat bulb to it?

NO you can't add heat to it. You must have a heat bulb in a dome fixture and a t5 fixture with a uvb bulb. The only thing you can add to a double bulb T5 fixture besides the uvb is a daylight bulb. This brightens up the cage and is good for live plants.

So just so we are clear, here is what you need for lighting, both for UVB and for heat:

UVB Fixture:
Zoo Med 26053 Reptisun T5-Ho Terrarium Hood, 24" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQU8F2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jIbJCbNYJR72H

UVB Bulb:

Heat lamp dimmable dome:

Use a regular household incandescent (NOT LED) bulb in it, dimmed so you get the correct BASKING temperature

Ok so I can just order the uvb light and just keep using my 60w blue light?

 

[Thehippie]

aka you will need these and these only!!!!!^

yes please order the uvb light, a house bulb from the hardware store will last longer than that blue bulb

 

[Grasshopper]

Will this be ok if I just order a new fixture?

 

[Thehippie]

they need a light source, for heat, its like the sun, they know its warm where the light shines... che's should only be used for night heat if it drops below 60 degrees

 

[Rst_Cham]

If using a ceramic heat element, you would need it on a thermostat plus you would still need a light source next to it and still the UVB linear bulb. I would stick with the suggestions above instead.

I think OP maybe getting confused with the amount of people giving information all at once. Granted it's all good information and accurate. @Grasshopper you need to read carefully and make a list of things to buy and buy them now! Your chameleon is in serious risk of dying. Don't try and take the easy cheaper way out like you have been. There's no "can I get this instead?" or "I can't afford that right now" when it comes to carrying for chameleons. They are unlike any reptile you've ever owned or will ever own again. Please please please fix your husbandry issues ASAP before your chameleon is done for. This is serious!

 

[Grasshopper]

Just got these orders and should receive them no later than Sunday, paid $138.79 but I got the main things I was told to get.

 

[Grasshopper]

What live plants would you guys recommend to put in her cage?

Taking her to the vet Monday morning, he told me until then keep doing the showers and mist more than normal. (No emergency exotic pet near me open now.) Question about the lights, I read for sure they get the 12 hours of both heat and uvb. Also read I should turn the uvb light off 15 minuets after the heat lamp. Is that right?

 

[Peeps101]

So not this one?

Do not get that!
