Uv rays cannot pass through glass in a window so unless the windo is wide open he won't be benefitting from it.
You need to give
Pure calcium with no D3 each feed
Calcium with D3 twice a month
Reptivite with no D3 twice a month.
I have used Exo terras to raise all my baby panthers and veileds before their adult cage is ready. The only thing I do not like about them is the drainage issues with them they are easily over come with mesh cages.
I personally wouldn't but mbd isn't a passed on condition really it happens once the animal is born but to be on the safe side I wouldn't breed him at all.

I personally do not like calcium plus for chameons as I have seen too many problems caused by it.

What size it is? It looks as if he will need to go into his adult 2x2x4 cage soon.
Yep on most forums. There is a lot more chameleon activity on here! You will find the people in the US do things differently to people in the UK.
Always better to go bigger and save money so you do not have to bug bigger when he goes into a bigger cage.
Hi Its bradley from RFUK! This forum is great for more chameleon stuff.
many people will say the 10% is too strong but it isnt especially as it is above mesh. Even a 10% doesn't come close to what they would get in the wild.
I take it that it is a strip bulb?
it wont be too strong and...
Ideally it needs to be emptied daily anyway so that bacteria doesn't grow too much.
Most people install drainage systems for this reason as you will get a lot of excess water with chameleons.
