Need heat bulb recommendations

[KeepNupwithJoneseys]

Hello, I just got an XL screen enclosure for my Cham and wondering what wattage and brand I should get for heat? It’s a big enclosure and I feel the bulbs I have now aren’t giving off enough heat. The temp is only 78 F in the basking spot now. :/

Exo Terra 60 watt should work but if not you could always just go higher than what you have now and raise and lower the fixture as needed

What kind of chameleon do you have? What are you using to measure the temperature at the basking spot?

I have a veiled Chameleon and I’m using a thermometer to measure the temp in the basking area.

The basking branch is closer to 9 inches away from the light on top of the enclosure.

By the way, we recently upgraded the enclosure and our background for it is on the way.
