i have 60 watt basking lamp..
lights are on 13hours and off for 11 hours

You need a Reptisun 5.0 UVB light a bit longer than the one you have.

yeah a longer light would be better. I would use a 24" on that cage . I would say a reptisun 10 for that cage as well. The mesh is really dark and needs more penetration. .

I like the setup but if I were a Cham I would probably want some more sticks going vertical and horizontal.

You will need to buy a longer fixture.

Wheres the water gonna go? i would advise to put some sort of water catch/basin at the bottom where the dripper would drip.

You are probably fine with it on top until you get the reptisun 10.

They will not show any issue with a few days of no UVB. With the 5 on top he will get some UVB. Maybe take him out side for a little while until you get it.

Yeah that one. It will fit the ballest if you get the same size bulb in length. 18,24, etc.

You also need to clean those plants of all potting material. I see the little white things in the soil. These can be dangerous to chams as they like to eat them. Take the plant out of the pot and rinse off all the dirt from the roots. Wash the leaves, front and back with soapy water, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Get some sterile garden soil or soil without fertilizer and replant your plants. They are now safe for your precious chameleon.
