Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Definetley the 5.0!
5.0 would be the best choice. Especially if you can't get them outside for real sun. I use 5.0 for all my chameleons.

Actually,
5.0's work OK, but you'll come out better with your animal using a 100 watt powersun Mercury Vapor high output UVB, or a 8.0 flourescent. Although the Mercs are initially more expensive, they do not have to be replaced every 6 months like the flourescents (meaning in the longrun it's cheaper to go with a mercury vapor). Using flourescent UVB is fine as long as the UVB output remains up, with a merc you don't have to keep tabs on it, and it projects the UVB a MUCH greater distance as well as through screening (which flourescents lose most of their output through screening). I personally reccomend them, they work wonders for chams and it is the ONLY lighting I will ever use to raise baby chams. So, my suggestion is to try out a powersun, solar brite, T-rex ect. High output UVB Mercury Vapor, it is the single best investment you can make when keeping chams indoors. Several companies online have them available. -Eric lago *MS Reptilian Hobbyists*

Personally,
I use Zoo Med Powersuns, 100 watts from Big Apple Herp, as well as Solar Brites from AAA Reptile Supply or Reptiledirect.com. They're easy to find and readily available. -Eric Lago
