D3?

[AmenBrotherBen]

So I can't seem to find any D3 without calcium mixed in. Is this a problem?

 

[sandrachameleon]

nope, not a problem. Many people use calcium with vitamin D as part of their supplement routine.

Oh ok thanks. So use everyday?

You shouldn't be using the D3 with calcium every day - you should be using plain calcium without D3 according to the care sheets for the species- which I think is daily for a veilded -
I'm thinking you might have intended to say that you couldn't find calcium without D3 - which you can find on-line (LLL reptiles has it for one)
It makes a difference - and I'm pretty sure that the reply would have been different from sandrachameleon if that is the case.

Don't use calcium with D3 everyday, depending on how often your chameleon gets natural sunlight, I would use 2-3 times a month. You can use calcium without D3 everyday or everyother day, depending on age.

no. how often you use it will depend on type of chameleon, type of lighting (or outdoor time) and amount of D3 in the product (some brands contain more than others) and on how you gutload.

How's the weather there in Georgia?
If your cham is outside a lot, in the natural sunlight, you don't need to worry much about D3, most of us do not have that luxury however so we need to supplement as needed.
Like Sandra said, it depends on several factors; species, and amount of UVB.
