uvb and heat lamp

[TheDankestMeme]

Is there a type of uvb bulb that also gives off heat, I use a normal 25watt one which has no heat, however my room gets cold and I put a heat light on. I want a bulb that gives uvb and heat because I don't have enough space on top of the cage. The cage is 1ft wide and across and 2ft tall

How big is your cage? When my veiled had his smaller cage both fit. I do not know of a bulb that does both though.

I believe mercury halide lamps do but not 100% sure. They through off an incredible amount of heat, so much so that they are only good in a very large custom cage.

How old is your chameleon? That's a very small cage for even a baby

3 months or 4, I'm off with the measurement's and I have no way to post a picture because they're "too large"

You should be upgrading to an adult cage soon.

Why, and how much are those?

 

[Andee]

Because an adult chameleon should be kept in a 2ft x 2ft x4ft cage or equal in measurements of length and width to the height I said. 4 feet is not always necessary. But 4 months is around the time the juveniles get bored and will act oddly, such as dangerously exploring their cage by climbing the screen and such if it's too small. Their appetite will decrease a lot also if their bored to a dangerous point considering how much they need to eat at this time. Your cage is small and only really suitable for 3 months and under.

Depends the brand, but about 80-100+.

A mercury Vapor Bulb or Metal Halide, will provide UVB and heat. But alot of heat, so might have to lift it a bit.

Depends, a lot of people make theirs or buy them from different companiesources. The most popular design is the zoomed reptibreeze XL. I am not sure how much it is, depends on where you buy it, usually it's around 80-100 dollars

Which one of those is the best

That I honestly dont know. I have heard great cases for both, I personally use neither.

I would not use either unless you had a relatively large cage or free range
