Hi Everyone,
I have been researching and preparing for a couple months now to have everything set-up properly in advance of purchasing a panther chameleon. We will be receiving a 5 month old male Ambilobe.
As far as supplementation goes the norm seems to be:
daily dusting with calcium - no D3
bi weekly dusting calcium with D3
bi weekly dusting multi-vitamin.
Since multi-vitamins are available with and without D3 I am not certain which is recommended, as I haven't yet found the specific answer in forum posts. Obviously it makes a difference as it could double the recommended level of D3 or provide insufficient D3 depending on the the prescence/absence of D3 in the multi-vitamin.
As far as D3 production as a result of absorbtion of UVB rays, I will have a 36" T5HO dual hood with Arcadia 6% and 6500K linear tubes.
Thank you in advance for your guidance and recommendations.
