Vitamins
what is a good all around vitamin suppliment i can administer to my chams. i think this may be one of my problems with my sick panther. i give them calcium suppliment that i dust the crickets with, and gut load the crickets and superworms. i give them a wax worm a day as a treat, but i have not really paid attention to the vitamins part until now. please point me in the right direction.

crickets are gut loaded with flukers gutload, carrots, apples, and collard greens. calcium is flukers with d3 and phophrous 2 times a month. chams are not lithargic or dehydrated and very active. my panther just has one eye thats bothering him but he is otherwise healthy. i am now thinking his problem might be a low vitamin problem. i dont have a herp vet locally the closest one is 2 hrs away. anyway all i need to know is what a good multivitamine is.

i used herptivite.
 and some people might disagree with me on this. but i do occasionally give him preformed vit A (retinyl Palmitate). -about once every 2 months. in a very tiny amount-

I dust with a phos.-free calcium powder at most feedings. I dust only twice a month with a phos.-free calcium/D3 powder and twice a month with Herptivite.
Check whatever you feed to the insects, chameleon and supplement with for the preformed vitamin A, phos., calcium and D3 levels.
