Carrots contain carotenoids which are turned into PRO vitamin a not PRE vitamin a. There are 2 types of vitamin a that play 2 different yet very important roles. I would suggest looking into human grade Vitamin A retinal gel caps. You can poke a pin hole in a gel cap and drop a tiny drop onto 1...

It’s a great article! I use a very similar method still to this day. I do not supplement with a d3 weekly and I incorporate a vitamin a supplement in low doses for juveniles. I agree with balancing out the phosphorus/calcium ratio especially with pinheads and fruit flies.

http://chameleonnews.com/02NovHorgan.html Very informative website. Personally I suppliment hatchlings feeders half the time. I continue my regular dusting schedule except on a day on day off schedule, meaning on the day on schedule they would be supplemented in the same order adults get...

It will do no harm not feeding at all for the couple days. Id be more concerned about the free range feeders taking bites out of your sleeping chameleons then your chameleons eating unsepplemented feeders. MBD can not occur in such a short period of time. You do not need to worry about MBD at all.

Monika at chameleons galore, Lisa at chronic chameleons have some beautiful Panthers on the west coast if you want to pay shipping. Generation reptiles in Quebec also closer to your area. I Would try to return that little one if you have not become attached and go with a reputable breeder.

I have Orange heads also fairly confident i could get Kenyans. Not sure if weather is permitting to ship where you are.

I also believe you’re over misting the little guy. 6-7 times with a mister and then hand mister seems abit too much. This is unrelated to the eye issue and I understand the air is dry during the winter here in Canada. You want to aim for a high humidity throughout the cool night which can be...

Pet stores feed their bugs bare basic foods so they do not die, they do not gut load the insects for the well being of costumers reptiles. I would research threads on gutloads and supplementation throughout these forums.

The repti calcium doesnt contain any vitamin D3 does it ? Eye issues are usally related to missing vitamins in the diet or improper lighting for prolonged periods of time. Your lighting is adequate which leads me to think there is something missing or too much of something in his diet. Are you...

Is there a mode where it can just be turned "ON" for constant mist until turned off? Mistking timers have an ON,OFF, and AUTO mode. If there is such a setting for the monsoon you could turn it on and then hook it up to a smart plug or a seconds timer. This would bypass the internal timer in the...

I use a little plastic Dixie cup thing like one you would use for a dipping sauce. I coat the inside of the cup with a calcium powder so they cannot climb out. This works better with Drosophila hydei then it does Drosophila melanogaster. Depending on the age of the chameleon whether that’s a...

I use Arcadia earth Pro A, if youre looking for a supplier reptilesrus has it for a fairly good price and pretty fast shipping. Could very well be edema which is easily curable. Hopefully its not gout. Would go very lightly on supplementaion for the next little bit and cut roaches out of the...

A T5 HO uvb light should also be a top priority. Please fill out the forum posted above so we could see if there are any other aspects of your husbandry that need to be solved.

Yes d3 is needed but putting a d3 powder on every second feed is far to much. There’s several tactics out there to give your chameleon adequate d3 whether that’s a d3 supplement twice a month, Natural sunlight, proper uv index ratings (solar metre is needed), all in one supplement (Repashy...

I would discard the flukers repta calcium, it is a D3 calcium and I believe it has very high amounts of d3. I used it for a period of time not knowing it had d3 and it did one of my old panthers a world of trouble. I too believe it is d3 overdose. I Wouldn’t supplement him with anything other...

Honest question. What is so bad about resurfacing an old thread? I often see people on here complaining when an old thread is commented on and i dont understand it. Is it fear of clogging up the forums and help not being readily available to those who need it ? In which case i could somewhat...

Congrats, very exciting. Does this mean Madagascar is open or will be opening for export again ?

Was wondering if there are any other members who currently keep Bradypodion Thamnobates? Very rarely see posts about them. Back in the day there was a decent number of people on here who kept them. Would like to share notes and experiences if possible. Thank you.
