Hi! So I am planning on buying the Exo Terra 36 x 18 x 36" Glass Terrarium online for my male veiled cham from LLLReptile. I know that they sponsor the chameleon forms but I would like to know if anyone has ever bought supplies from them and how well their customer service it? ((

Side note: Also, if anyone can answer whether I should get the Reptisun T5 HO 5.0 or 10.0, that'll be great.

5.0

Never personally bought from them but there is always the risk of glass breaking in shipping.

Ok great! That's what I have and needed to know if I needed to get a 10.0 or 5.0 in the future.

I know that 5.0 UVBs generally work just fine for the juveniles, but you may want to consider getting a 10.0 for an adult chameleon .

Completely depends on the height and size of the cage. Assuming they are getting a singular fixture and not a quad fixture, a 5.0 will be good for this enclosure size, adult or not.

Will definitely upgrade to a 10.0 when he becomes an adult then! ((

Not necessary

If you use a single fixture with a 5.0 (t5ho), you would have your highest branch at about 12'' away from your uvb light to bring you to a uvi of around 2.5-3. Using a 10.0 in a single fixture would make it way too strong (5-6 uvi).

So stick with 5.0?

5.0 if t5HO

only reason to get a 10.0 T5HO is if you have a meter and a unique setup(3ft deep custom cage and a very high mounting point, etc).
