Honestly, if you just want to learn about veileds and their husbandry, peer-reviewed academic journal articles are not going to be your best bet. They tend to be behind a paywall and are more often than not tremendously technical and difficult to understand without an advanced degree in...

100% male, you can tell from the colors alone (y)

Only use white lights. Multivitamin is included in Repashy LoD - it's an all-in-one that is specifically formulated with low amounts of D3 and multivitamin, such that it is appropriate for everyday use (y)

What you've read is correct. Supplementing with D3 every day will give your chameleon an overdose. The simplest solution is to replace all supplements with Repashy Calcium Plus LoD and use that at every feeding

There are many, many reasons this could be happening unfortunately. Very hard to pin down. Oftentimes, their less bright colors actualy signify that they are content. Bright colors are a sign of stress and overstimulation. There are a couple things in your husbandry that need correcting ASAP...

Honestly I've been using mine for so long, I have no idea anymore! The wattage you require varies highly based on the environment of your home and the surrounding climate outside. It's sort of a guess-and-check situation. So you'll basically want to try the next step up in terms of wattage. I...

All righty, so for the most part you're on the right track! I see three main issues that are important to correct at your earliest ability: (1) He is well beyond the age and size that he needs to be moved into his adult-sized enclosure. You'll want to upgrade to 24"x24"x48" minimum as soon as...

You just need a higher wattage basking bulb :) Make sure not to use colored ones (like your blue bulb), though. You want it to be white. I know it gets tougher to keep temps up here when it gets cold. Now just wait til it's the dead of winter and humidity inside might as well be in the...

My best guess is that that UVB you're using is much too strong for such a young animal, especially a Jackson's. And especially because you're using both a linear and a compact UVB bulb - it's probably hurting its eyes. I would recommend removing the compact bulb altogether and switching the...

You know, Petr Necas wrote an interesting article on this topic and I believe he would disagree with this sentiment. I'm pretty sure I saw him post it on facebook, so I cannot for the life of me find it unfortunately... If I recall correctly, however, he actually advocates for some amount of...

Those are stress colors

I don't bother with it, either. I just put a bromeliad underneath the nozzle, so the few drips that do happen land in its leaf "basin"

I woudn't even bother, personally. Way more pain than it's worth.

Okay well an expert like yourself must not need any help from any of the long-standing members here whatsoever :) Not sure why you bothered asking for help if you were just planning on saying "no, no, no" to the calm and objective suggestions given to you. If you don't want to improve that...

Here is a list of all the deficiencies I can find in your husbandry. No one is "eating you alive," we are merely pointing out areas in your husbandry which are subpar. Remember, you are the one who came here asking for advice. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Your gutload is lacking Your...

The zoomed reptibreeze is by far the most common and least expensive: https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-ReptiBreeze-Screen-48-Inches/dp/B001PHABI8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=reptibreeze&qid=1567978675&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Unfortunately skin conditions can be difficult to identify, so I'm not totally sure. Hopefully someone else has additional feedback on that. Here are some additional husbandry notes I can offer, though: (1) His enclosure is much too small for him at that age. He's overdue for an upgrade to his...

I was actually just going to add this same comment, until I went back and read that they're using a Monsoon Multi. Those things can't mist for more than 2 minutes at a time, so OP must mean 12 seconds every hour... Which is also a problem, but in the opposite direction. 12 seconds of misting...

How can you know a plant is non-toxic when you don't even know what it is?

This is dangerously incorrect information. An adult male's basking spot should not be hotter than 90F. 85F for a female
