lighting?

[owenyeconiel]

does it okay if i didnt use uv lights by just using the calcium +d3 powder every time he eats? coz i had broken my uv lamp. hee.
or it would be better if i buy the new one?

Although I'm a newbie on Chams, I suggest you buy a new one.

I also suggest you buy a UVB tube. I used a coil bulb 5.0 before and yesterday I changed to reptisun 5.0 UVB tube. Today my veiled cham eats a lot more than before. I am not sure if that is revalent to the UVB bulb though.

Linear UVB lamps are better than the CFL lamps.

And yes you should buy another lamp. It is very critical that you use a UV lamp.

If you use a D3 supplement it can build up in the system and lead to problems but D3 produced from exposure to the UVB shouldn't as long as the chameleon can move in and out of the UVB.
