Congratulations @MissSkittles ! You definitely deserve it

My wife is going to be so mad at me

So there’s 200 mcg/Kg of D2/D3 in the pine pollen. After some googling that is apparently about 8000 IU/kg. That’s at least a starting point. Thanks! https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/589256_8

Hello, I’m glad you’ve joined us for help, and I’m sorry your chameleon isn’t doing well Can you tell us more about his history and husbandry? This seems like a lot, but proper Cham care can be somewhat complicated. If you are able to fill out this form in as much detail as possible, there are...

@Kaizen ?

As Casque has already said bee pollen is not totally benign from a supplementation standpoint. It does have some fat soluble vitamins, including D, although for the life of me I can’t find a resource with D3 levels in bee pollen (@kinyonga 😉). It appears it has PROvitamin A through beta...

+1 to you both. Screen cages make it nearly impossible to maintain day/night humidity cycles unless your ambient humidity is at or near day time goals, and even then getting to 80-100% is very hard to do Mine will always be covered on all four sides or outdoors from now on

You’re most welcome. Kinyonga already talked about a good supplementation routine for your Cham as well Once you have proper lighting, you will definitely want to follow this supplementation routine Also remember for great nutrition two very important aspects are feeder variety and feeding...

Just my guess by looking, but I don’t think that red bulb provides any UVB. UVB is essential to your Chams health. And of the other is an LED bulb, it’s definitely not supplying UVB either and probably very little heat It is recommended (really required) that you provide UVB to your chameleon...

Can you show some pictures of your lights?

I definitely understand and in some ways agree with your perspective, and I didn’t intend to imply that you are being negative. My thoughts are that it’s great that they’ve taken the initiative to attempt what they’re doing on a very limited basis. Will there ever be a million dollar study...

Archaius tigris?

Yes

I understand that it’s likely vastly underpowered to reveal scientifically significant results, but we’re talking about successful hobbyists taking on a problem of their own volition. I think it’s great, and it’s absolutely a step in the right direction. Since we know that your million dollar...

Are you heating your home right now? What’s your ambient humidity like in the house? I think dependent edema is most times going to be due to organ insufficiency of some kind, and the most likely systems involved are cardiopulmonary, hepatic, and renal systems. I have no idea what the...

I was getting UVI of 3-4 through the screen with about 6-8 inches between the basking area and the bulb. It is a single reflector.

There’s only two cords one for the LEDs and one for the fluorescent fixture, so unless you manually turn on/off the other LEDs, the moonlights will go off with rest if it’s on a timer

This light has a T5HO linear UVB bulb for D3 synthesis along with daylight LED for plant growth. A heat lamp for basking temperatures is usually still important for their health

Definitely feed off the flies if they pupate. I usually take all the dark ones that are near changing to flies and throw them in the plant pots to pop up when they’re ready Your Cham will LOVE the flies
