Need some advice

[elduderino]

Hey guy. I'm going to get my cham soon, really excited. I pretty much have everything setup for the little guy. But I have a few questions I hope you could help me out with.
I ordered the mistking, and wanted to know if I should warm up the water before misting or will room temp water be fine?
I am going to make a drainage system. What should I use as a sealer? Will regular silicon be fine?
I ordered repashy superfoods calcium plus. It has calcium and vitamins. Is it alright to use that for dusting every day?
Thanks for your help.

Many chams seem to prefer warm water.
My chams will accept room temp or warm.

There are differing opinions on whether or not to use it daily.
Some people have reported serious health issues when dusting daily and others have not.
Chameleon nutrition is still a bit more of an art than a science but it has come a long way over the past few years.
Most importantly, don't overdust so the bugs look like ghosts and be sure to feed a variety of feeders which are themselves well fed.

Here is one thread and you can use the search feature for other threads on it.

If your new cham will be a montane species--like Jackson's, Kinyongia, etc. then it would most likely be wiser to use it less often.

The caresheets in the resources section of the forum have some more feeding and supplement info:

The safest sealer would likely be an aquarium silicone.
If you use regular silcone sealer you will want to be sure the fumes are gone before getting the items near your pet. Many people have used regular silicone sealer but gave it a few days to cure, as mentioned.

I use a liquid calc spray on my feeders everyday...keeps me away from powders until I have to feed multi vit or d3...the rest is all spray works good and its affordable

Glad to help someone who wants to give their cham the best care possible
