My Rainbow Jackson Chameleon setup, is it good?

[DoomRaptor]

Did you by any chance buy the zoo med chameleon kit because that’s what comes in it.

LOL no that thing is garbage theres ONE piece of folliage

Ok good but answer my question about your supplements please

 

[DoomRaptor]

Another very important issue is, are you lightly dusting his crickets with a phosphorus and D3 free calcium powder every feeding? Also with a vitamins supplement with D3 once a month?

No

This may be the evidence, the underneath bulb is the compact and the one above is the one I am using

Please tell me I do have the right bulb

 

[Lindasjackson]

Well you need to get a phosphorus free and vit D3 free calcium powder. A good one is repticalcium no D3. That’s what I use and you need to lightly dust his crickets with that every feeding. Next you need to get a vitamins supplement powder with D3 and once a month lightly dust his crickets with that. If you don’t, he can get metabolic bone disease. I use reptivite with D3 for this and it works well.

 

[Lindasjackson]

I’m sorry, but that’s not the right bulb. Did you check out the bulb I gave you the link to?

Will do

I’m sorry, but that’s not the right bulb.

Alright I'll get the bulb you suggested then.

 

[Lindasjackson]

And you’ll need not only the bulb but you’ll also need the t5 Ho fixture to put the bulb in.

 

[Lindasjackson]

Don’t forget the supplements I said. Forget this post, we were posting at the same time, lol!

 

[DoomRaptor]

Will do

I have the no d3 but it doesn't say no phosphorus but it doesn't not say no phosphorus

In the name Reptisun 5.0, the 5.0 part has to do with the % of light in the UVB spectrum (5%) - it's not really the model number of the bulb, if that makes sense. There is a Reptisun 5.0 Compact Fluorescent (what you have) and also a Reptisun 5.0 T5 - which is what you need. The T5 bulbs are the thin, straight types and have much higher output than what you are using. You can get a fixture and bulb for around $60.

 

[Lindasjackson]

Can you take pictures of both your calcium and vitamins containers so I can see what you have?

@DeltaYaz I’m having a hard time finding a link to one. Can you find one for him? Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much. I hope the op sees this

I just bought the Josh's Frogs branded one for $35.99 for another purpose, however; I literally just got it tonight so can't comment on it yet. The fixture I have for my cham cage is a quad-tube and you don't need that right now (and your dad would be angry).

 

[DoomRaptor]

Thank you guys I'm working on getting these supplies right now, and I will send you a pic of the supplements.
