Two tube 5.0 Reptisun and grow light?

[Doug7025]

When I change to a 2x2x4 cage here in a month or so, I plan on getting another male panther, with another 2x2x4 and partitioning. My question is if I move to one 48" fixture with two tubes, can I also use a grow light for the plants, or should I use two reptisun 5.0 lights, or just stick with the single-bulb 48" fixture? The plants seem to be doing fine. Thanks

I use a reptisun 5.0 and a grow bulb from Lowe's in most of my 48 " fixtures. Works well and provides a more complete spectrum for the chameleon. Along with a Halogen basking bulb you could get a pretty good spectrum coverage.

Thanks, also I was wondering if I needed to change to a reptisun 10.0 due to the depth of the cage?

Reptisun 5.0 should be fine. Its all I use in the same size cage.
