Yep it's actually recommended, it can give the chameleon more light to see in some of the darker areas of the cage. Sansi makes good grow lights supposedly @NashansCamos likes them a lot. https://www.amazon.com/SANSI-Daylight-Vegetables-Seedlings-Greenhouses/dp/B07S2P69VC
I’m in Scarborough, Ontario Canada.
I don’t know anyone here or at the the store so ??I appreciate all the advice.
Uh Guelph is really far like hours drive and I do not drive ?
yup I like the sansi ones and recommend them!
Looks like it says T5HO... DId you get the UVB bulb as well in a 5.0 or 6%?
It came with a bulb but know where does it say uvb. So I’ve ordered the reptisun
They typically come with daylight bulbs. If your needing it just for plant lighting then it comes with the bulb you typically need. If your needing it for UVB and it does not say on the ordering page that it comes with UVB then it does not. That is when you have to buy the bulb separately.
Looks like a new bulb so hate to say it but... blue or red bulbs can be harmful to chameleon eyes over time. You will want to either get just a normal incandescent household bulb (which works just as good as the “reptile” ones and are cheaprr) or a not colored reptile heat bulb.
This bulb is perfectly fine to use.
I thought blue or red bulbs were bad?
That specific one is ok... Yes, red bulbs are a no no.
Ohhh Ok.
So I can use a normal everyday light bulb??? What watt???
They are not necessary to buy but those ones are ok. They get commonly used because they come in the chameleon kits. They actually produce a white light.
Ok yeah I just thought all colored bulbs are bad for them. Didn’t know the blue ones produced a white light thanks
