Reptisun 5.0 versus 10.0

redoaksblues Apr 30, 2005 07:59 AM

Any input on this? I have 4 x 3 x 3 screen cages (panther chameleons) and have been using the Reptisun 5.0 but are considering the 10.0. Any thoughts?

The Reptisun 10 is suppose to emit uvb 20 inches from the surface of the lamp compared to the 5.0 which is 10 inches from the surface of the lamp. How far is your panther normally from the top of the cage? If he/she roams alot and you're worried about it getting enough uvb, you can get the 10. But if he/she normally stays near the top within 10 inches of the Reptisun 5.0 then it should be getting enough uvb from the bulb.
