Looking at suppliments. I realize with the common suppliment schedule I will need pure calcium without d3, calcium w/ d3 and a vitamin suppliment. Which 3 brands do you guys recommend? Most of the brands I have looked at all have lots of extra vitamins in it and not just the pure calcium. If I...

thanks for the responses! Ill post a pic when im done with my setup :rolleyes:

dont learn your lesson the hard way like I did. my last chameleon had a prolapsed rectum because I used bark at the bottom. I suggest spending some time researching other aspects of your chameleons needs because trust me pet stores and vets have no idea what they are doing unless they are...

So about a week ago I made a post complaining about bad information from vets and pet stores. I was able to get a lot of good information about what I needed to change. Now im sitting here on lllreptile.com loading my shopping cart with all these things. I am getting a 18x18x36 screen cage. I...

I see. So the reptivite is there mainly for all the extra vitamins (multivitamin suppliment) right? Is the main source of vitamin A for chameleons from the multivitamin they get twice a month? Edit: I guess vitamin A would also come from gutloading crickets with carrots and other veggies.

Also is any source of heat used at night if an infrared bulb isnt used? I realize the temp is supposed to drop at night but I figured with the UVB bulb off at night the temp would drop a little.

when you use the reptivite, do you use it with d3 or without? Havent ordered the supplies for the setup yet. Working on it though.

Thanks for the reply Julirs. I havent got a digital thermometer yet but I did some reading waiting for a reply and found out that she could be gaping open because of excessive heat. I reduced it to a 50 watt bulb and she seems very comfortable with it now. Ill be getting a digital thermometer...

I edited my original post with all the changes I made to the terrarium immediately and also the changes I will be making in the near future. (changes are in parenthesis next to what I did before) Another quick question while im here. Ive noticed since I picked up my Chameleon a few days ago...

lol thanks. Didnt realize that. Also thank you everyone else for all this information. I am going to get right to work to get her a new setup. Is it important to have a full screen terrarium setup? I found this terrarium online and I wanted to post the link and get some opinions before I buy it...

Thanks. This is good info. With screen cages how do people keep crickets contained in the cage. Do people have a small enough screen the crickets wont jump out?

I live in southern california. Making a new cage sounds like a fun project. Any websites that can offer a package deal? :) I have a 75 watt bulb laying around and an old 5.0 UVB before one of the petstores told me to switch over. Im not sure if its compact coil or not though. its definately not...

Thanks for the reply. Ill start doing some online shopping and ill change out the bulbs/substrate asap. The biggest change will be the caging. I just dont know how people can keep cages humid when there is so much ventilation.

What do most people use to soak water at the bottom? If I didnt use any substrate water will build at the bottom like crazy from misting.

Hello everyone. I am new to the community and maybe others here can relate but I am surprised by how much diverse information I get from petstores and even vets about how to care for my Chameleon. What I would like to do in this post is explain my setup and hopefully some experts here can agree...
