    Yes, I've seen that, however; All calcium in powdered form acts in the same way be it Citrate, Carbonate, etc... It all acts as an acid absorber. The Geckos ingest enough calcium to support their needs. I am concerned about the amount of D3 found in the suppliments found at my Local Petstore, as well as the Nearest Petsmart. I cannot for the life of me find plain calcium powder near me via pet isles. I am more than open to suggestions on where I might acquire what I need to care for this poor Gecko.

    I sort of rescued her from my friend whom I know never gave her calcium in the three years he owned her. My main problem is I was looking for somthing to give her imediately. I live in Utah, where most establishments are closed on Sunday. I will hold off if need be, and I have already considered buying Repashy's formula(which also contain Calcium carbonate). Mr. Repashy's statement was refering to an overdose of calcium in general, just FYI.

    And by all means; if you could provide me with a brand of calcium powder that is easily found at most chain stores, that would be much appreciated.
