If you've had your Senegal for 8 months, you must be doing things fairly well!

Do you gutload/feed the insects a nutritious diet? Do you use vitamins or calcium/D3 at all? Is your calcium supplement phos.-free? Does it get any direct sunlight?

yeah

yes constantly i feed them letus and carrots and the cage is sitting near a window and the calcium supplement contains vitamin D3

Having glass between the chameleon and the sunlight doesn't allow for any UVB to get to your chameleon.

Your gutload should/could include dandelion greens, collards, kale, endive, escarole, sweet potato, sweet red pepper, zucchini, squash, etc. You should use a wide variety of these things every time you feed your crickets.

Be careful with the D3....D3 from supplements can build up in the system.
Preformed vitamin A can too.

I hope your Senegal will continue to do well for yoy!
