I whole-heart...Hi Jennifer, thanks for the comment! I whole-heartedly agree that if you can supplement with natural sunshine, at least on the weekends, it can have tremendous benefits for chameleons. I read a study once that I’ve never been able to find again so I can’t cite it, but they exposed green iguanas to natural sunshine after absolutely no UV and the amount of vitamin D produced in the skin after just 20 minutes of exposure could still be detected in the blood 2 weeks later. That’s powerful! None of our artificial lights can put out that kind of production power. <br /><br />However, thousands of chameleons are raised exclusively on artificial lighting and supplements and grow up to be healthy adults, and even scientific standards for the correct housing of chameleons in laboratory settings outline the use of just supplements and lighting because it works to raise healthy chameleons. Like I said above, if this wasn’t enough in your case then there had to be some reason that put your chameleon(s) was that 1% of cases where MBD isn’t a supplement/lighting issue (if, we assume you didn’t purchase a lemon UVB light or anything like that.) I saw recently a ball python necropsy that showed the poor snake had terrible MBD. Very strange, because BP don’t usually suffer from MBD! The vet found that his intestines were really irritated and swollen, so she concluded that whatever had caused the swelling (maybe an infection, injury, etc.) was causing his GI tract lining to be totally unable to digest any nutrients. Including calcium, so his bones were thin and brittle. That’s definitely one of those “outlier” cases that account for rare cases of MBD. <br /><br />If someone has the climate to get their chameleons outside regularly (or at least on the weekends) then definitely, I strongly encourage that! But a high-quality UVB bulb and the right balance of supplemental mineral/vitamin products (on top of a good diet) should be enough to raise healthy chameleons to adulthood.

I met the above the requirements with my lighting and suppliments, and it wasn't enough. Direct sunlight is invaluable.
