I've been using 5.0 T8 fixtures and tubes for my baby Redfoot tortoises for years.
At the CHAMELEON FORUM using a T8 gets a reply like a "coiled cfl" gets here. They only use the T5 HO.
I currently have a single mercury vapor 80 watt Exo Terra UVA, UVB and heat and a single ZILLA "tropical 25" T8 15 watt on each of my Chameleons cages.
They're pretty close to the spot that the Chameleons bask and withing 10 inches from where the chams spend most of the day.
How is that not enough UV for a Veiled Chameleon?
A 5.0 HO puts out more U.V.
Do I need it?
No one responds with a straight answer.
