the right supplements

hey guys i was wondering what you think the best vitamin supplements are. i found these on petsmart.com and wasn't sure if they had all that leo's need in them. and i wasnt sure if giving them calcium powder in their cage along with the calcium water is to much, and if there is something more i should get. anyways cause i cant send links here is the names and descriptions.

Exo Terra Calcimize
Calcimize water conditioner turns tap water into safe drinking water for
reptiles and amphibians by removing toxic chloramine and chlorine,
neutralizing heavy metals and adding necessary calcium.

JurassiCal
a convenient way to bring needed calcium into your
reptile or amphibians diet. It's phosphorous free, making it ideal for
helping to achieve the correct calcium:phosphorous ratio in your pet's
diet. Many commonly fed fruits and vegetables lack adequate amounts of
calcium. Likewise, in most invertebrate species, calcium is inadequate.
Lack of calcium in the diet can lead to metabolic bone disease and shell
deformities and soft shells in turtles and tortoises.


Ingredients: Calcium carbonate.


Guaranteed Analysis: Calcium (min) 36%; Calcium (max) 40%.


Directions: Lightly dust food before serving. Adheres best if food is already slightly moist.


Made in the USA.

The easiest things I have found to use for suppliments is the all in 1 suppliments such as T-Rex brand complete leopard gecko dust icb by sandfire foods or Repashy calcium plus icb by repashy foods. All you do is dust every feeding or every other feeding depending on the age and condition of your herp and you don't need to leave a calcium dish in the viv either when using an all in 1 suppliment.



Also I usually just buy spring water for my leo to use in his dish and for misting (your viv wont get all spotty using spring water, no calcium deposits ). They need some of the minerals found in water so purafied water isn't as good, by the gallon for around $1 and I like it a lot more than using some chemical to dechlorinate the drinking water plus those usually don't remove flouride which is much worse imo.

I prefer Repashy Calcium Plus for dusting, while leaving a bottle cap full of calcium without D3 (phosphorous free) in the tank. That combo works great

Repashy calcium plus actually contains protein and other vitamin supplements, so it's an all-in-one.

Yep the Repashy is an all in 1 which I also mentioned, BUT when using an all in 1 suppliment PLUS leaving a cap of regular plain calcium in the viv you risk giving too much calcium (also depending on your gutload) and you could develop calcium bubbles in the arm pits like my Eros did or you risk much worse, Psudogout, where the body can't absorb all the calcium because of lack of D3 and collects in the joints and long bones to form damaging calcium deposits. You absolutely need to balance your suppliments appropriately.
