Suppliment Brand Question

[Fretfreak13]

I'm so sorry, you guys are probably so sick of answering this question. I think someone should write up a sticky on this, like a cham shopping list, because I don't remember actual products being touched on in the current (and magnificent!) sticky. I tried to do a forum search, but I came up with a lot of different results and would like to narrow it down to what I actually need to purchase.

I live in cruddy Cleveland, OH so its safe to assume that my little cham wont be outside at all, except for fun outings (do they make cham harnesses?!?! lol). Because of that, and correct me if I'm wrong or missing something, my shopping list should include:

-Plain calcium
-Calcium with D3
-Multivitamin

So, what actual brands should I buy? I will most likely be ordering off amazon. Once again, sorry for asking this question again.

Hi
There is no one single best answer to your question. What supplement to use also depends on the type of feeder prey being offered, how you gutload, the type of chameleon, etc.

That said, I am happy with what I am currently doing (and have been doing for about a year) for my panther chameleons (I would do the same for veileds):

Sticky Tongue Farms Mineral-Outdoor as my vitamin free calcium powder. I use this fairly regularly, on prey that has the wrong calcium to phosphorous ratio, such as crickets

Repashy Calcium Plus as my vitmain supplement. This contains D3. I use it about 4 times a month.
