Juvenile veiled chameleon light/heat at night?

[Momo The Chameleon]

Hey everyone! My first of many questions is here!
So when my boyfriend and I were looking into veiled chameleons before buying, I read all about the heat lamps and uvb bulbs and all that. When I went to a local reptile store I told the girl helping me that he was a juvenile veiled chameleon and she asked if I had a heating lamp for at night. She helped me pick one out. Its a very dim black light at 75 watts (I think).
But then my boyfriend was reading something else about how you shouldn't have a lamp on at night.. it's just so hard to know what's true and what's not online so what is your opinion on this?
Thank you!

Hi there. Absolutely no light at night. No heat at all unless it is below 50 in your house. They need a 12 hour on and 12 hour off period of light and they need a cool down at night. The person that helped you has no clue about chameleons.

Start reading that husbandry program it will teach you all the right info. Do a help form here when y’all are ready so we can go over all your husbandry.

And don’t ask pet store employees. Most are uneducated idiots and treat Chams as if they are just another reptile rather than understanding each reptile has specific needs that must be met or they die.
