What are the temperatures at the top and bottom of your cage. How many times a week do you give supplements?
Here is the recommended schedule and temperatures.

"calcium (without D3 or phosphorus) at nearly every feeding, multivitamin once every 2 weeks, and calcium with D3 once every 2 weeks."

"Temperature:
Baby/juvenile (<9 months): ambient 72-80F (22-26C), basking 85F (29C)
Adult males: ambient 75-80F (23-26C), basking 90-95F (32-35C)
Adult females: ambient 75-80F (23-26C), basking 85F (29C)"

Have you seen him eat and drink recently?

My calcium does have d3

 

[JacksJill]

Do you use plain calcium daily and the calcium/D3 every two weeks? Too much D3 can cause problems.

I'm currently trying to figure if my vellied chameleon is healthy ? And any tricks to keep her hydrated , the dripper floods cage too fast . ( Mesh cage , recent convered top with tin foil )

 

[JacksJill]

The plastic you have under your lights is blocking the UVB from getting to your chameleon.
Am I seeing that right or is that foil around the outside?

 

[Creedyenor]

UVB

The top is cut to match the size of the light bit its blocking the uv ?? How so ?

 

[JacksJill]

I couldn't see the cut out I thought it went under the bulb.

 

[Creedyenor]

No I made sure to match I just left home but when get back I'll post more pics . Humity is at 60 ish I can get to 70 but would that help . I don't really want to use the dripper ? Also I didn't mention I'm using a subsrates , cause I was struggling for humity and store had me buy eco stuff ? And really repeditve as well but does my Alex look healthy ?

I’m thinking Iv really fucked up w the d3 in my calcium

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Yes you are way off in your supplements. You should be dusting with calcium without D3 at every feeding. Dusting with D3 twice a month and dusting with a multi vitamin twice a month. You should have three different types of supplements you are giving your Chamaeleon .

 

[Giniroselle]

Okay

Do you think I should give him reptibost to get him back to himself

I’m also thinking water is a problem I have a dripper and mister but I never see him drink
However I do see him eating

 

[Giniroselle]

I will get regular calcium today hope I can find it at the store

You should be able to find it. Call a few stores around your area before heading out to buy it if it makes you feel more comfortable.
