Re: i just wanna no if im doing every thing right
Only thing I see is that you should purchase a multivitamin supplement for dusting purposes. Brands like Repashy Calcium Plus, Zoo Med Reptivite, and Rep-Cal Herptivite are all great popular brands Unless your repcal without D3 is the multivitamin supplement. Are you using repcal herptivite? Or repcal calcium without d3?
If it's just pure calcium, you want to get a multivitamin supplement to dust with. It should be one that contains D3 and you would dust 2-3x a week. Repashy calcium plus already contains D3, Zoo med Reptivite and RepCal Herptivite both have a version with D3.
Now if the repcal you have is Herptivite, which is a multivitamin supplement, then you need to get something with D3. Either calcium with D3 or one of the multivitamin supplements with D3. D3 is still required for captive leopard geckos to thrive and absorb calcium properly. Again D3 should be given 2-3x a week and you should be fine.

Re: i just wanna no if im doing every thing right
Only problem I can see is you don't mention if you're using a multi vit and you're not dusting with anything containing D3. Without D3 your animal can't absorb calcium. A good all in 1 suppliment such as repashy calcium plus or t-rex brand complete leopard gecko dust icb b y sandfire foods are both great options. Pretty fool proof, just dust every other feeding for juvie or laying females, I dust my adult male maybe 2-3x a month. The age or approximate age of your leo is important as well since juvies (under 4-5 mos old) require warmer temps than sub adults (5-6 mos to a year) and adult geckos and feel more secure with more hiding places that usually adults don't really need. Overall tho pretty good.
