So with every feeder you ever feed you will need to dust it. This is done to balance the calcium to phosphorus levels. feeders are high in phosphorus. So we use calcium without D3 that is phos free to balance it out.So you’re saying use the repashy I have 2 feedings a month and use just regular calcium on all other feedings, no feedings of just plain crickets?
Correct. For chameleons, it’s either no substrate with good drainage or go completely bioactiveand so I should elimate the substrate completely with no replacement?
Is your fixture the Zoo Med T5 High Output with an LED strip on it? If so that’s good, and you can keep your current Zoo Med 5.0 bulb in it. Just make sure to replace it every six months. If you switch to an Arcadia 6% bulb, you only have to replace them once a year. Also getting a UVI Solarmeter is an important tool to have!Also what t5 would you guys recommend
So those lights are incorrect. Get a regular white light incandescent bulb to replace the blue basking bulb, and toss the UVB that comes with that (after you install better UVB). You’ll want to get a T5 High Output light fixture (get one that’s either the length across the top of your enclosure or a size longer, that way you can put the fixture straight across the middle of the top of the cage or going diagonal across the middle), and a matching sized Arcadia 6% or Zoo Med 5.0 UVB linear bulb. With the Arcadia you only have to replace the UVB once a year, while Zoo Med’s is every six months. Either way, I recommend getting a UVI Solarmeter if you can afford it.My current lighting setup
Those plants you got are perfect! People clean plants many different ways, like using dish soap with water, diluted bleach with water, Physan, steam cleaning, etc, or just a thorough wash with water. Whichever way you choose, make sure the plant is thoroughly rinsed afterwards. Also make sure to put pebbles/rocks too big for your chameleon to eat over the soil in the pot.And should I clean the plants in anyway before putting them in the enclosure in case there was an insecticides or anything on the plants

No, you’ll want something larger. You can get a big bag of river rocks for like $5 at any home improvement storeWould these work to cover the soul for the plants
Reptile bulbs tend to burn out quicker, are more expensive, and are more prone to burning chameleons. Just pick up a plain incandescent bulb while you’re at the hardware store for rocksSomething like this?
Either Reptisun 5.0 or Arcadia 6%; I have both, and both are good. For chams, you want a fixture that runs the entire length of the enclosure.Also what t5 would you guys recommend
