I agree with all this. How big is your cage? You are going to need ways to keep it humid, and the waterfall won't do much at all. The cham probably won't use it for drinking either. Get a good quality hand pump pressure sprayer instead. You'll be using it twice or more every day. You will need to measure humidity, but don't get the little cheap analog gauges from the pet shop. They are unreliable. Invest in a quality electronic humidity gauge (AKA hygrometer). I don't know about the ReptiGlo light...The best UVB emitting fluorescent bulb on the market is the ReptiSun 5.0, so see if you can find that instead. Get a infrared temp gun...you can check the temps all over the cage in just a minute or two at any time. They are now down to about $40! Get some insects set up with good gutloads on hand before the cham comes home...most pet shops don't feed their insects at all. For basking, you can use a regular light bulb rather than the fancy ones. The wattage will depend so much on your setup and room temps. Be ready to reduce the watts. The temp gun will make it easy to measure the basking perch temp before your cham will need it. Set the cage, lights, timers, and misting routines up. Experiment with the climate and you will probably find you need to do some tweaking to get cycles right. Good luck!
