I have a veiled chameleon and i just got reptical calcium supplements and i was wondering if i can use the calcium without d3 and the multivitamin more than just one day in row. I use them both twice a month for just one day, so i was wondering if i gave it to him two days in a row twice a month would that be bad, thanks.

It's better to separate the days, I've heard. It isn't ideal to give it the vitamins 2 times in 2 days because you kind of need to spread out the vitamin use so the cham gets them throughout the weeks, if that makes sense.

I'm not totally sure what you mean. The calcium without d3 is an everyday thing anyway. With d3 is twice a month. Multivit twice a month. These last two would be better to space out evenly, as ChamomilleCame says.

The calcium without d3 can be used daily/every feeding. The multivitamin, this site recommends giving it twice a month but don't use any calcium the daily of the multivitamin giving. If you have calcium with d3 that could be used 2 times a month also.

I use D3 on the 1st and 15th of every month. I use multi on the days in between (usually the 7th and the 21).

That's a good standard system. Of course you use plain calcium on all other days too.

you can use the vitamin free calcium more often - indeed depending on the type of feeder prey you offer, you probably should use this at least three times a week.
the vitamins are only necessary a 2-3 times a month (depending on your gutloading and prey choices)
in most circumstances, Repcal calcium WITH D3 should be used twice a month only.
