OKay so we were at the Frag swap in Mboro and headed to Nashville to Aquatic critter. While in there, I started looking at supplements. I got confused so I asked the guy behind the counter what I should use.. So I got a lot of this with that or this in part with that with that and some of this and this is better than that and blahblahblah.. never really got a here,t his much this time a week.. So then he told me d3 is POISON...and went on to say that tube lights are terrible and create sick chameleons and I need to invest in a Mercury Vapor during winter and only sunlight in the spring and summer (outside if possible).. I thought I saw on some thread someone saying Mercury was bad.. and Im STILL confused on what I should be dusting and how often. can someone clear up if a Mercury bulb is good/bad? He said d3 is to make up for not using mercury, using tube, and lacking sunlight but that supplementing with d3 is basically killing my chameleon? So Im ALL kinds of confused. I have herptivite and reptivite WITH d3. He recommended Chameleon Dust, cal stron (i think?) and reptivite without d3 but then did the mix this with that and this is best without this..and by time he was done, I was beyond confused and wondering if what I have currently is even what I need.. and he said mercury vapors run about $75 for the bulb and fixture...Oh yea and he said crickets suck and I should only feed supers and dubias.
