Im a bit confused as to your post......but i'll try
Nigerians (U. Geyri) can take years to reach full size depending on diet, genetics, and husbandry. Color is mostly genetic, with marked sexual dimorphism, males will often be much brighter colored. I've not seen any studies or discussions on foods to improve color. Calcium is good, just don't overdue it depending on what greens you feed you might not need to much extra calcium. I wouldn't feed more than a couple of crickets every couple weeks.
