my condolences , i hope this site can help you better provide for your next chameleon and if you have questions do not hesitate to ask.

yes they produce urate a healthy urate will be white a dehydrated urate will be yellow or darker

to get a better accurate reading depending on the enclosure you must place it in the center of its total heigth

also i changed his setup to accomadate better temperatures for basking and cold spots

im using Zoo Meds brand Reptivite reptile vitamins and also Repti Calcium without D3
