one more thing so i was looking at lll rteptile and they had calcium with high levelks of vitamen d thts wut i want and i want one with none right?

 

[gerhartrx]

r all these things expensive?

also can u mix the certain supplements 2gether like lets say the one with d3 and the daily one?

Please don't mix them. Here is a good schedule.

Use the calcium product you get five days a week
Use the multi vitamin on the 10th & 20Th
Use the calcium with D3 on the 15th & 30th

You want to get regular calcium. And Calcium with d3, Make sure it says d3. Do not just get the calcium with d3, get the calcium with d3 and calcium seperate. They are completely different supplements

They need to have regular calcium at every feeding beside when doing multi vitamins or cal with d3.

do i rly need the multi vitamin or can i just use the calcium

 

[gerhartrx]

You can call them tonight or tomorrow and give them a list of what you decide to purchase and they will make sure you get everything with only one shipping charge or waive it altogether. They have awesome customer service. Dont get what they suggest listen to the pros on this forum.

 

[lindseymeder16]

Yes you really need the multi vitamin. You need everyone of those supplements that myself and Gerhartrx have recomended. They are VITAL.

What do you mean he doesn't have to get any of this stuff? If he wants his chameleon to live then I would say all of this is required.

I agree but we cant force someone to do this. that is all that I meant. I was on another forum a couple days ago and it seemed like the person who was asking a question was getting ticked off with all the suggestions.

May I add a simple fix that no one else has addressed and wont cost a penny?
Turn off your night light, Your veiled needs total dark during the night. Leave your basking 12 on and 12 off, during the day, same for your 5.0 linear uv bulb. This will help to cool down your tank as well.
So this is an easy, cheap fix!
welcome to the forums and Im happy to see you understanding the need for change

what is the diffrence between the basking light and uv

 

[sandrachameleon]

what is the diffrence between the basking light and uv

Basking light (can be a simple household tungsten incandesent bulb) provides heat, which the chameleon needs to be able to move in and out of, to thermoregulate. Just as if it was moving in and out of a nice warm sunbeam. The UVB provides very little warmth, but provides the UVB spectrum that is also part of that nice sunbeam in nature.
