    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have Jackson's Chameleons and recently green iguanas.

I see a lot of vitamin sprays out there, and I do use them.

Are they recommended? Is one brand better than another? What nutrients should I look for while shopping for a spray?
 
Little, if any, vitamins will be absorbed through your reptile's skin. Try herptivite by Rep-Cal, it is a powder designed to be orally ingested, and works great.
 
I agree, use a good UVB light, and supplemental powders on the bugs for the chams, or their greens, and on the greens for the iggys. There are some sprays that go on the food if for some reason the animal refuses to eat the food with powder--I've seen some but not many do this. The Herptivite and Rep-Cal seem to be the most recommended. Check with someone else about the D3 calcium, I'm really not sure which you would need with either species (D3, or no D3).

Jackson's Chameleons and Green Iguanas both need D3 in one shape or form... If they are kept outside most of the year, I would not worry about adding D3 to their diet. If they are kept indoors year round, it wouldn't hurt to use a calcium w/D3 added.
 
I have got both enclosures set up with UVa/b lights (expensive bulbs!! hee hee) I also use a gut load for the crickets (Flukers brand) and both a powder (TREX) and a pellet by Kaytee in addition to their fresh veggies.

I just saw so many sprays on the shelf that I wanted to know if I had wasted my money. The spray I got is made by Four Paws, and claims to help with D3.

Since most of the iggies came in with crappy skin, will this spray help in any way at all or should I just toss the spray?
