Chameleon Physiology & Supplements
Why Different Vitamins and Supplements Matter
This is a general (and hopefully easy to understand) overview of why different vitamins and mineral supplements we give our chameleons matter and how they affect their physiology.
A very special thanks to...
Boxing day 2010 a pipe plugged up, causing the expelled dirty water from the laundry washing machine, the dish washer and the shower stall to back-up. The floor (not just in that room, but the entire ground level of the house), the baseboards, etc all had to be ripped up and replaced.

Shayna is really doing well this week. I've had to pry her foot loose a few times, but she's moving very well indeed, and the past few days has needed no rescuing from the bottom.
Yesterday she really enjoyed her misting, which is rare. Usually she tries to find a dry spot to watch me with...
As of Friday, I have no longer had my precious Delilah... She passed away suddenly due to egg binding. It happened so fast it was impossible to help her. Seeing a Chameleon that you have grown so close to is extremely hard to witness. Watching her face in pain was the worst part.
-I walked...
The week has gone okay. Her sheds aren't as startling as when she was young (I swear she was like a husky who 'blew his coat', when I saw her one day green and the next all grey/white and scaly). Now its more like a foot here and a tail there.
Her movements are moderately better. No...
See http://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/535-food-supplement-diary-repashy-experiment-october-2011.html for background info.
This is the prey intake log for a single male panther chameleon for which I am periodically using the Repashy Calicum plus supplement product.
So far...
Shayna did not do well yesterday. I rescued her from the floor of the cage at least 4 times. I checked on her hourly, and if she was okay I simply left the room.
I'm going to try a whole month with no multivitamin.
This morning she was doing okay, all four feet on the branch.
Spouse...
I actually heard her take the fall this time, ran downstairs and found her with both forelegs pinned, laying on the floor. She's grabbed herself a few time too.
Maybe the whole thing is a growing pains sort of thing
Got a weight on her: 43g she is a pudgey thing.
Supplemented with Ca+ D3 on 4 crickets
Received phoenix worms, they're a hit
Moderately good movement. Had to rescue her half a dozen times this week.
Did some major reoutfitting of her environment, removing bottom of cage, raising the cage onto a wire storage type table, so a tray can go...
just because i havent done one of these in a while, imma post one, and if anyone sees anything wrong - please let me know
