Lighting

[leslievilarino]

I just finished my cage for my veiled chameleon I will be ordering soon. The cage is 5 ft tall, and I purchased a reptisun 10.0 UVB tube light and a 75 watt zoo med basking bulb. I was wondering your opinions on whether or not these will be sufficient? I plan getting on having a schefflera or umbrella plant to fill most of the cage and adding some vines w more leaves if needed. I assume whether or not the lights will be okay depend on the amount of foliage but I thought I would ask anyway

I think you should use the 5.0 UVB bulb its mainly for rainforest. 10.0 is normally for animals in the desert.
