yes i have heard of this in other species but not in chams.



Chams and other tropical(raiforest type) species

(iguanas,water dragons ect..) need to have some UVB. some people that own lizards like anoles,beardies,andday geckos have been using powder vit. that are high in d3 and calcium so that the uvb isn't as important but it is allot beetter for the animal if they can make the d3 and sinthesize calcium naturaly with the uvb.
