GREAT Dusting Regiment

ok .. so here it is! this is a very complex regiment that a friend on mine on another forum site set out for me. he is very knowledgable, and i trust his word. here it is:

Quote:
Male panther chameleon or adult female (non-breeding) 6 months and up:
Monday- Insects with no supplements. Tuesday- Rep Cal Calcium with D3. Thursday- Herptivite Multivitamin. Saturday- MinerAll O. Wednesday, Friday and Sunday they don't get food. This keeps them healthy and keeps them from getting overweight since they are no longer growing rapidly. It also helps them to be excited about eating, and they won't get tired of the usual food insects.

Gravid female panther chameleon:
Monday and Thursday- Herptivite Multivitamin. Tuesday and Friday- Rep Cal Calcium with D3. Wednesday and Saturday- MinerAll O. Sunday- Rep Cal Calcium.

Baby panther chameleon from 2 up to 6 months:
Monday- Insects with no supplements. Sunday and Thursday- Herptivite Multivitamin. Wednesday and Saturday- MinerAll O. Tuesday- Rep Cal Calcium with D3. Friday- Rep Cal Calcium.

Make sure that if you're dusting this frequently, that you dust VERY lightly. You should just barely even see the dust on the insect.

I notice MinerAll O is specified several times. Are these chams kept outdoors or is this to avoid too much D3?
