Panther color question

I didn't know that about the compacts, does that go for all power compact lighting?

compact uvb: NO NO.. real bad for your chams:

Read this link about compact:

You should opt for this type of uvb:

That plan you have sounds good.
Let us know the result.
 
Powersun 100w!

OK so the plan will be:

switch to 1 tube UV
make sure he can't see the snakes
calcium without D3 except for 1-2x/month
get him natural sunlight when the weather permits

Did you guys see any other points of concern in my husbandry, or have any other suggestions for someone relatively new to chameleons?

Thanks for all the help, and I'll keep you guys posted on what happens, Matt

I think your making the right move here, but I have a quick question. When you filled out the help form you said you were using a powersun 100w as a basking bulb. Is is a mercury vapor bulb? If it is then it also emits a UVB spectrum. A mercury vapor bulb is really only intended to be used by it's self, and the rays can almost reach to the bottom of the cage. This along with 3 coil bulbs would be UVB OVERKILL and maybe the cause of his pale coloring.
