Calcium: Every feeding should include a calcium supplement which has little or no phosphorus. One popular brand is called Rep-calŠ.

Multivitamins: Add a good dose of a safe reptile multivitamin 2 - 3 times per week. HerptiviteŠ is highly recommended. It is a good source of vitamin D3. HerptiviteŠ also contains no vitamin A. This is important, because hypervitaminosis A (an overdose of vitamin A) has been linked to edema (excessive fluid buildup) in many species of chameleons. Instead of vitamin A, HerptiviteŠ uses beta carotene, which your chameleon's body can convert to vitamin A, if it is in need of vitamin A. Many herpetologists speculate this will dramatically reduce the number of cases of edema reported in captive chameleons every year.
