Unfortunately so many of us find this after the fact....

Very true. Perhaps a “Before you buy” sticky post with recommendations for some basics would be a good idea. @Brad ??? What do you think? I could work on something...

Good idea! I know I could have saved a bundle if I had something like "before you buy"

This would benefit alot of people! Unfortunately it seems like most people don't come here untill after they already bought everything :/

The real question..
Repashy Calcium Plus LoD
Small amount of this daily is what I'm under the impression this requires
Or
The 3+ different vitamin containers (the safe route) but if any of you keep females on Repashy Calcium Plus LoD successfully id feel better going with that myself.

 

[Twells92]

I use LoD on Claire with every feeding, every bug.

I have done both with no issues.

I use repashy plus LoD lightly at every feeding with my female veiled.

I use repashy calcium plus LoD at every feeding. But I do not put supplements on BSFL, any flies, or hornworms. only his main staple which is dubia roaches.

I've used RepCal with and without D3 and Herptivite for many years with no problems.

There's more than one way that works...you have to decide which works best for your chameleons.

I do the same as Beman for my female panther.

My vet suggested I use all Repashy...supercal with no d daily and alternate every other week calcium with med d and supervite. He did check and measure my uvb and all so I don’t know how that played into his recommendation.

Would it be of any harm to run both the old UVB bulb and the new UVB fixture at the same time? Too much UVB maybe?? The top of the enclosure becomes a Tetris game without suspended lights. Just need to get a single basking fixture so I can get rid of the double bulb one.

Unless your able to measure the UV output I would not run both--just to be safe.

Yeah I agree with @AnamCara... Also I just want to make sure you have the T5HO fixture directly on the cage top don't suspend this one

Indeed it is resting on the top, trying to decide what placements provide the best exposure and soon upgrade to a T5 fixture. Currently have the T8.
