Sadly my chameleon passed away last month, and I was in the middle of building him a new terrarium. So, his old one (medium sized, glass, screen top) isn't really needed anymore (and neither is his new one, but I am thinking I might want to finish it and sell it -- if someone would be interested...

Hmm intriguing! Hadn't thought of that. Thanks :)

Good point

I currently use domes but would like use less real estate. My UVB fixture is pretty flat so I'd like a heatlamp that works similarly.

Perfect Thanks!

Hello, I see three different Repashy Calcium Plus. One is just "Plus," one is "Plus LoD" and the last is "Plus HYD." Which were you recommending?

Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

Ok, thanks! But ~9 inches ideally once I get the 6%, right?

Got it. I've moved the 12% bulb up and it's about 12 inches from the basking spot. Is that fine for now or should I be turning it off until the new bulbs arrive? I am building him a new terrarium right now and will position the basking spots 9 inches from the single bulb UVB fixture.

In the past I had a 2 bulb fixture, one bulb was heat and the other was uvb (round bulbs). After reading that I got one of the long single-bulb fixtures at 12%, but kept the heat bulb in the double fixture (and added a second bulb independent of my timer, which is not usually on, just when it...

Thank you!

Are you measuring the amount of UVB somehow? (beyond what the bulb advertises at)

I'm a bit irritated (not with you lol), because I had a much lower bulb in the past, and got the recommendation on this forum that I should up it to the Acadia 12% (was very specific), and that there is tons of light lost toward the bottom of the cage, and most chams don't get enough UVB... and...

Super helpful, thank you. The Reptaid I only was giving him after he started to show some health issues because I thought it might be parasites or thought he might just need an immunity boost. I'll stop giving that, but it wouldn't have been the cause. Yeah I was alternating the Calcium+D3 and...

Wow thank you! I will get a new bulb and make this change asap.

Apologies, I don't have the bottles anymore because I put them in their own shakers and labeled them. But it's the RepCal brand. Rep-Cal SRP00300 Herptivite Multivitamin and Mineral Powder Reptile/Amphibian Supplement, 3.3-Ounce Rep-Cal Rep-Cal SRP00220 Phosphorous-Free Calcium Powder...

Thanks! I bought an RO water filter but sadly it can't be installed in my apartment, since my sink is porcelain and requires a hole. The landlord came to help me install it when he realized it's not going to work. So the water is tap water (hard, not soft). I don't know if that could be having...

Thank you! I'll raise the lamp. I'm also working on a new terrarium for him right now, so I'll keep that in mind. I did read something elsewhere about lumps caused from Vitamin A deficiency... hm.... are there other supplements that include Vit A?

Thank you! So the lumps would be aligned with joints if it was impaction, right? What can I do for gout? Can the vet prescribe something?
