To reach the  necessary temperature of 28 – 30°C as well as the brightest light, you need to use HQL or HQI – spotlights. They should be used to create a sunny place. They are to be put into a place the animals cannot reach to avoid burns. Ultraviolet lamps are an additional but unnecessary element of the terrarium, as long as the chameleon gets enough calcium.

Reducing the temperature at night for 5°C to 8°C is very important. Reduction of light and temperature in combination with resting times are basic conditions for reproduction.

Heating stones, plates and cables are not supposed to be part of a terrarium!
