Is she alright?

I’d also ask your breeder if his calcium is pure calcium that is also phosphorus-free and D3-free and if his multivitamin has the correct phosphorus-to-calcium-ratio, if not phosphorus-free, and correct levels of D3

Okay. I mean he has 100 chameleons and I told him i want PURE calcium and multivitamin mixed with d3.

 

[ERKleRose]

I have a lot of pet stores near me i just never checked in there for supplements because my breeder is giving them to me.

Check there for some good supplement brands, like Arcadia, Zoo Med, Sticky Tongue Farms, etc

So the multivitamin had no D3 and was mixed with D3?

No i think it was all in one pack

Does your breeder make his own or repackage a pre-bought brand?

He repackage pre-bought brand but I dont know which one exactly.

one question. Is it possible she got edema because i gutloaded my bugs with only carrots for month and half?

Which brand? I have no idea about the edema, like I said, @Beman and others will help much more than I. I’m only trying to help with the basic husbandry

so i cant post pics because my breeder gave me pure calcium in little plastic container and multivitamin with d3. I posted in this tread what is the supplementation schedule. But I can post again. I dusted every feeder with calcium and i dusted like 5 crickets with multivitamin and d3 from when i got her until now. Is it possible im not giving her enough d3 she is still not shooting her tongue could that me from lack of d3 too?

Ok so you have no idea what your actually giving since it does not have the original container.... I would buy all new supplements. What can you get your hands on there?

You could be overdoing D3... You don't know because you don't have the original container. Edema is most commonly linked to too much fat soluble vitamins given. While it can be linked to other issues as well this is the most common.

 

[Beman]

Okay. I mean he has 100 chameleons and I told him i want PURE calcium and multivitamin mixed with d3.

But saying pure calcium.... Does not mean you got Phosphorus free calcium without D3. And for the multivitamin you don't know what it was and if it has beta carotene or preformed A. This is really very important.

Personally if it were me I'd buy all new supplements so I knew exactly what I was using and what was in them

Those 2 are great, but you’ll also need the Arcadia Revitalize D3. Attaching the schedule you’ll use with those.

If nothing else works read this as moisture and heat cause this but it can be temporarily fixed with a proper coating left to dry first before using...

There are two major types of glue used for chip boards. Urea-formaldehyde glue is cheaper but less water resistant than phenol-formaldehyde glue. Both types of glue contain formaldehyde, a toxic gas. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde presents a health hazard. Susceptible individuals may experience watery eyes, irritated mucus glands, nausea, and asthma symptoms. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency provided many of the victims with trailers for temporary housing. FEMA later received criticism and negative publicity after it was discovered that many of the trailers contained unsafe levels of formaldehyde. People living in the trailers became ill. If you understand the scientific principles behind particle board outgassing, you can protect your family from a similar fate. HEATING OR WETTING the materials make symptoms worse.

Hmmm... Well it is possible that’s the problem. I mean i had two chameleons before her in that enclosure when they were babies and never had a problem. My breeder keeps all his chameleons in those types of terrariums.. I will get a bigger and different material enclosure for her. Thank you!
