As Carlton said Tanks are a poor choice for most chameleons but this really goes for jacksons. I would suggest that you purchase the larsest screen cage you can find or better yet build your own and build it tall( 6 to 8ft.and at least 4x4 for a base) it's not that hard or expensive. As far as lighting goes You would be better off using regular old florescent bulbs and make up for the lack of uvb by housing your chams outside during the warmer months. Your chams would probably get more uvb in one week outdoors than they would get in a whole year from one of those overpriced things anyway. As I suggested to some one on the monitor forum if you really want to find out how good those bulbs aren't, find a book on growing pot. Those guys know their lighting. A friend of mine once showed me one of those books years ago and I was amazed at what I learned about lighting just as I was amazed at how little the reptile industry doesn't know about lighting.
