Hello again; i �ll make the question in other way; a baby chameleon needs UV 5.0, doesn�t it ?, or 7.0 - 8.0 ?, thanks.

I use Reptisun UV 5.0's on all my chameleons regardless of age.
I have raised many many veileds from the day they were born into
old age with no problems. I use a double florescent fixture over
the babies that has one 5.0 bulb and one regular florescent.
I have only raised one Melleri from a very young age to adulthood
though. (Meller's aren't often available as babies where I live.)
