UV Lighting and Supplements

I was wondering if the smaller pygmy chameleons that live in leaf litter or the understory of forests require UV lighting like the larger chameleons.

It is not known for sure but believed that some small amount of UVB is needed. Typically most keepers use an old Reptisun 5.0 or a new 2.0. I use a small 18 old 5.0 on my 3 enclosures for my brevs and they seem happy.

You would have to imagine a small amount would reach the floor in the wild.
