Possible blood in enclosure?!?!

[Snakekid6996]

So I just put in about 12 dusted crickets into her enclosure. I came back about 5mins later and there is little red speckles that look like they could be drops of blood. I looked at my chameleon and I didn't see any visible wounds, she seems to be acting normal, and she is just her normal green relaxed color. Could it be the crickets. What is it?!

Are you sure it is blood? Take a cloth a wipe it to make sure. Sometimes crickets have some brownish looking stuff that come out of them. Maybe it is that.

I have paper towls as beddig and there are bright red specks soaked in. I noticed that some of the red substance absorbed into the extra calcium dust that fell into the enclosure. I wounded if I hurt one of the crickets while shaking them in a cup with the dust and now it's bleeding??

What supplement did youuse?

 

[DavidBuchan]

I read ages ago on the forum of a supplement powder that got wet and made red, blood like drips. Turned out to be totally harmless

Repashy calcium plus is the supliment that looks like blood on the floor when wet

It's fluker's reptile vitamin (with beta carotene) it contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements, and potent color enhancers..and That makes me feel better, because it's only in wetish spots. That's probably what it is.

Is that the only supplement you are using?
