I would just keep it simple... Get this one for your plain without D3 calcium 6oz jar... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3BKCGA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i live in the southern california area between la and palm springs.
okay thank you so much!!! is there a certain bug that would be best to use with this calcium?
So any feeder insect you use you want to supplement. We do this to balance the phosphorus to calcium ratio of the insect. I would use feeders that you can easily hold up to your cham though. He will need a lot of assistance being able to eat since his function of the tongue has been so badly compromised by the over supplementation of the multivitamin.
yes! i live pretty close to that vet! One that I have perviously gone to was in Corona, CA. Is that also a good vet?
Okay sounds great! Mealworms are a good option right?
I’ve no idea about the one in Corona, but I do know that Dr Greek is very experienced and knowledgeable with chameleons. If I lived in that area, he would be my choice.
Mealworms would be a poor option. They are low in nutritional value... You need something like crickets, dubia roaches, etc that gutload well. Something like silkworms would be very good as well.
Okay, I will give him some dubias with the calcium w out d3. Thank you so much!! Are there any other major things that I should take note of? Ive been giving him lots of water.
Okay Thank you so much! Are there any others that you think are good options too?
ohhhhh that makes sense. thank you so much!
Looks like a T8 fixture as well... So he would not be getting the UVB he needs. You need a T5HO fixture with a 5.0 or 6% linear uvb bulb. Then you want this set on top of the cage and the basking branches below it to be 8-9 inches down. This is important for chams to have the correct UVB source. Your T8 just does not have the output distance for a chameleon's needs.

He has a zoomed reptisun T5HO 5.0 uvb. I just recently replaced the light. He is basking there right now. The breeder we got him from said it was that the light was probably old so we replaced it. The breeder also said to use an incandescent 60w light bulb jut for light. Is this a good thing to do? or should I use a different light?
Thank you so much! He loves BSFL. and dubias.Black soldier fly larvae may be known as calci worms or phoenix worms in your location, have been said to contain high calcium levels.
I would still supplement them though, and vary diet with other feeders. You can feed the slow flying soldier fly's too when the pupate
