Superpig, Naturose, Paprika - Do they work?

[holmesese]

Several of these "color brightners" have been on the market for some time, I was curious to see how many people have tried them on chams. My guess would be that a well-rounded diet & good lighting would yield the brightest cham colors.

Anyone who has tried them have any good before and after photos??? Also, if you did use them - how were they applied? Feeder gutload or sprinkled on feeders?

Just wanted to hear some opinions!!

I've never used them for chams but I do use dubia nymphs lightly dusted with paprika to help bring back the vibrant reds in my dart frogs that's color have washed out because of aging. Paprika is only used for reds though and it wont make yellows orange, just make red more vibrant. I've never seen it used with chams though I bet people have tried. I'd like to hear if this works with chams also, and if there are any health issues in using them.



EDIT: My panthers always show more vibrant coloration or bolder colors when they are outside in the summer months. That real sunshine works wonders.

Hmm, haven't tried it on my darts yet - but I do occasionally sprinkle some of the superpig on my chams food. I just like to see empirical evidence that something is really working!

Sprinkle heavily on chameleon, place in over @350 for approximately 30min and blamo, better colors. Easy as that.
