D3 from supplements can build up in the system and lead to overdoses/health issues which is why we only dust with it twice a month. This ensures that the chameleon gets some D3 without overdosing it and leaving the chameleon to produce the rest of the D3 from its exposure to the UVB light.

We dust with a phosphorous-free calcium powder at most feedings to help make up for the poor ratio of calcium to phosphorous found in most feeder insects.

We dust twice a month with a vitamin powder that contains a beta carotene ( prOformed ) source of vitamin A. PrOformed sources of vitamin A cannot build up in the system and lead to overdoses like prEformed sources can and will leave it up to you to decide whether the chameleon needs prEformed or not.

Appropriate temperatures allow for proper digestion and thus indirectly play a role in the nutrient absorption.
