I have been reading the forums for a while, and have seen quite a few posts regarding giving calcium/D3/multivitamin supplements to chams, but the amounts seem to vary post to post, depending on the age of the cham in question. The same seems to happen with temperature. I am wondering if there is a comprehensive list of the appropriate supplement dosage for each stage of life for a panther chameleon, as well as a list of temps.
I am getting my 1st cham tomorrow at an expo, and I am not sure what age I will be getting. I know for sure it will be a panther, and I thought I had everything figured out, but in the past few days, I have seen a few posts with different info on these topics, depending on the age of the cham in question. So my questions are as follows:
1. What are the stages of development for panther chams, and what months do they apply to? (ie: baby = 0-3 months)
2. What basking temp should a panther cham have for each stage of development? (ie: baby = 80 Fahrenheit)
3. What should the supplement schedule be for panther chameleons for each stage of development? (ie: baby = calc 6/wk, calc+D3 2/mo, multivit 2/mo)
I realize there may not be an exact answer for any question, but appropriations will be helpful. I want to make sure my cham is getting the right amount or supplements as he grows, and I also don't want to cook/freeze him
Thanks for taking the time to help out a cham noob! lol
