The function of and need for vitamin A in chameleons has been a controversial topic for many years, with misinformation being perpetuated in the lay literature and even by some veterinarians. Hopefully this roundtable will help to disseminate further information, separate fact from fiction, and help us all realize how much more is yet to be learned about both vitamins and chameleon care.
