That is wonderful! Make sure you get the supplement as well. You need to stop using the liquid multivitamin and use a powder form. Reptivite without D3 would replace the liquid. And let me know if your confused on the schedule.

How did it go reading through the chameleon academy site? Did it make sense to you?

 

[Kam0408]

Yes, well most of it did
What new multivitamin would you recommend

 

[Beman]

Yes, well most of it did
What new multivitamin would you recommend

So you have two options here... You can get reptivite WITH D3 and then you would drop your liquid multivitamin and the calcium with D3 and use the Reptivite WITH D3 instead on say the 1st and the 15th of the month. Then at all other feedings use the calcium WITHOUT D3.

OR

You can get reptivite WITHOUT D3 and then you would drop your liquid multivitamin and use the reptivite 2 times a month then the calcium with D3 two times a month. These two would be rotated week to week on the same day. Then at all other feedings use the calcium WITHOUT D3.

EIther option works well. Just depends on what will be easier for you to remember. Make sense?

 

[Kam0408]

Yes so say I did the one with out d3
I would do it Twice a month and all other feedings are calcium without d3 when would I do the d3

Perfect. This is what I was going to suggest for you to start. If you find you like taking care of plants there are others that work, but umbrella and pothos are easy to take care of and will provide lots of foliage to keep your cham happy and feeling safe. Bring a tape measurer to the home improvement store or garden store you go to and make sure you get one that is a good size for the cage. For pothos, try and find a version for sale that already has long tendrils so you can easily separate and drape them over branches in your cage like vines. Take a picture once you get them in the cage for us to give you feedback. ?
