Lighting is especially important for lizards. All lizards except burrowing species need two types of lighting fixtures. They require a suitably sized fluorescent fixture in which UV-A and UV-B bulbs can be used. Incandescent light fixtures are also required for ceramic heating elements or incandescent bulbs, either of which will produce much-needed aerial heat. Non-light producing heating elements, as well as certain high wattage bulbs, require a ceramic insulated socket for safety purposes.

A fluorescent fixture is unnecessary if you have an alternative way to provide eight to twelve hours a day of unfiltered natural sunlight. Access to this amount of sunlight is often an impossibility, especially in colder climates, so fluorescent fixtures and special bulbs are often the only choice. Some lizard fanciers have constructed cages within  window boxes made from UV light admitting glass. Normal plate glass panes filter out UV light. UV light admitting glass is expensive, but can make a special lighting fixture unnecessary. It is available at hardware stores, or can be special ordered through most window companies and contractors. Because it is such an expensive investment, most novice lizard fanciers opt for the more portable and initially less expensive lighting alternative.
