The dark side

[Eppler]

I just moved my cham into his big boy cage and have two ficus trees and the bottom is covered in Pathos. For lighting I have one reptisun 5.0 and a reptisun 2.0 both 24”. I have them over his basking spot at the back of the cage on top and not much light is getting to the front or bottom. I was thinking of adding another pair of 6500k to the front side of the top to get more light to the front and the bottom part of his cage. His cage is 22”x32”x50”. Does this sound like too much light?

instead of forking out the big bucks for another UV bulb which you already have plenty of, I would just get a full spectrum (6500k) fluorescent light to add light to your enclosure and it would benefit your live plants as well. do you have a basking bulb because that should brighten up the enclosure as well.

The the basking light is at the back with the 5.0 and the 2.0. The 2.0 bulbs are full spectrum 6500k and they don't cost that much but I could probably find one without a lizzard on the box for less.

I wouldn't advice putting too much UV on your cham a regular florescent bulb or a regular house hold bulb would be better.
