Rep-Cal is manufacturer I use. It’s three different supplements you need. Herptivite (blue label) is the multivitamin administered twice a month. The other two are the Calcium without D3 (green label) for daily feedings and the Calcium with D3 (pink label) twice a month.

I keep my Veiled on a very common supplementation schedule amongst chameleon keepers. Calcium without D3 at every feeding. Calcium with D3 twice a month, and Herptivite also twice a month. I use Rep-Cal supplements. I have a dual bulb linear fixture for UVB and daytime lighting. So to answer...

Yes, more photos please. Photos of everything. The enclosure, the animal, the supplements, the insects, the gutload. From what I’ve read in your descriptions, the chameleon needs much more water and a more varied feeder insect supply.

Keep it bare bottom and buy a drainage tray. Otherwise no matter what you put down, it will be a wet mess.

My Veiled has always, and will always, hate me. I don’t mind it though. It’s just his personality and sunny disposition.

What a garbage human. Keeping a group of these highly specialized and beautiful animals together in a tub no bigger than a shoebox. Hoping karma comes for him shortly...

Beat me to it!

If your room stays above 50F, you don’t need a bulb for nighttime. You need to feed everyday with calcium dusting. Remove the substrate. Buy a thermometer and monitor his basking temps, as well as the rest of the cage’s temps. 100W sounds a bit much for a baby. I don’t even use 100W for my...

Love Brookesia. Hoping to find some space for a trio of Brookesia stumpfii soon.

@kinyonga I meant OP's photo of the actual product. Spacing out today haha.

Thanks @kinyonga for the awesome info! I knew I forgot a piece of my thought. I was assuming that the product in the photo you posted was used in conjunction with other common gut load fruits and veggies.

No. Chameleons require complete darkness at night. Heat is only needed if the room your animal is kept in dips below around 50F. In that case, a ceramic heat emitter bulb would be used to warm the enclosure, while not giving off any light.

Let him acclimate a bit before you attempt handling. The animal is in a new environment and is attempting to acclimate. Also, keep in mind how big you are to a chameleon. You are a predator in their eyes, and their bush (enclosure) is their safe space. If you let him get used to his new...

You shouldn't have an issue gut loading and still dusting, as long as your daily calcium is D3-free. I think the only issue you'd run into would be if you gave too much calcium with D3. I'm unaware of any issues arising from high-calcium gut loading and a normal dusting schedule.

What are you gut loading with? And which species are you keeping?

@KeopiCat Great minds think alike!

That is WAY too hot for your chameleon! Basking temp shouldn't go over around 85 for an animal that young. The bottom portion of the cage should be in the low 70s as a rule of thumb, but Veiled chams can tolerate dips into the 50s at night. Chameleons need complete darkness at night. Remove the...

As mentioned above, you would benefit from more foliage and removing the carpet. Live plants are preferred. A few horizontal branches are needed too. Live plants help maintain humidity and give your animal hiding spots and options in the temperature/humidity gradient. On the topic of humidity, a...

Looks great! This must be the beneficiary of the new MistKing you bought in Pomona. I saw his sire at the show. If his sire is any indication, he's going to grow up to be stunning. Enjoy!
