Well,

This was actually the bulb I had in mind. I've had my best success with veileds, panthers, and dragons under these bulbs. Yes, they are a bit spendy, but why take chances with your animals? -Eric Lago *MS Reptilian Hobbyists*

i dont mind paying but the think is that it is 100 watts
and the normal temp in puerto rico is 90 just sometimes 87
i think 100 watts can kill the cham

Actually,

If you live in Puerto Rico and the weather there is reasonable, the best thing you can do for your panther is to put him outdoors in an enclosure that is well planted (for shade), the best UV lighting you can give your animals is natural sunlight, and it makes a HUGE difference. I keep mine outdoors all summer long until the low temps start falling below 55-60 degrees. When it gets hot out (95 degrees plus) I simply turn on a soaker hose and leave it on the chams so that they don't overheat. Now if you're forced to keep him indoors and the temps are very warm, maybe 5.0 or 8.0 flourescent will suit your purposes, but keep in mind a flourescent UVB has to be changed every 6 months, but sunshine is the best thing for it, MVB's the next best, and flourescents work but nothing like the previous two lighting options. -Eric Lago
