Grape Vine Under UVB Light?

[JGuinan007]

Are there any ill effects if you give a chameleon liquid calcium that does not have MBD?

I would guess no... if its a low "recommended" dose. they need calcium to be healthy, so it shouldn't have ill effects on them

I don't think a mass produced liquid calcium is what you need, I am pretty sure the vet prescribed liquid calcium has far more calcium in it.

Sad news today... my little veiled chameleon passed away today. I misted his cage real good before I went to work and he was relaxing on his basking place waiting on me to turn on the lights. When I came home from work, he was laying limp on his grape vine. I noticed his eyes closed and no movement.... and sure enough, he passed away

Damn I wish I could have saved this little guy! I know he was in way better conditions than before (5 chameleons in a 5 Gallon aquarium with no lights at all and rarely fed), but still.... I feel like I failed and couldn't hold up on my end of the deal for this little dude.

You might want to try and get a necropsy done. Because it sounds like he had something serious going on, more serious than minor mbd. He may have had a heavy parasite load. He wasn't thin enough that he would've starved to death from lack of eating, and he looked hydrated in your pics. He may have had some serious damage like kidney damage or something from lack of correct care or water source at the pet store. I am sorry for your loss. So sorry.

Did you give him the Liquid calcium shots perhaps he ODed?
