what kind of calcium do you prefer?

I use ReptiCal w/ vit D3 Phosphorus Free. I havent had any problem with it. I mainly use it for my geckos, beardies, and uro's because the recipe for my Sugar Glider's diet calls for it. And each batch last me about a month or so, and I only use 2 tsp out of it for each batch. So the rest is all for my geckos.

Anyway, I was wondering what everyone else uses.
I see some calcium at Petsmart for about $3.99. I dont buy them b/c I really dont need them. But im wondering if there is a better calcium out there than what im using. I figure, b/c its expensive...its got to be good, right?
But what about the cheaper ones? Not as good?
What does everyone prefer to use, what has given you the best results thus far?

Just curious

I also use the Herptivite, which costs me $11.99 per bottle, b/c my glider's diet calls for it also.

I use the same as yours. Only difference is mine was only 2.99 at petsmart

How'd you manage $2.99??

LoL...fill me in

ive noticed that most calcium supplement powders are roughly the same with varieing amounts of vitamin A. Vionate probably being the one with the most. t-rex coming in second.

i bought some t-rex to try it out and eventually mixed it with my miner-all. there is some debate about weather or not large amounts of vitamin A can be unhealthy for leos and weather or not it is ethical because it seems to "enhance" the color of leos. in the end im pretty sure it doesnt matter a whole lot. osteo form, reptical, minerall, t-rex, vionate... its all the same, for the most part.

Crystal, I use the same supplements as you do, Rep Cal and Herptivite.

Miner-All (I)

most the time its Rep Cal and Herptivite, sometimes i will throw in some Miner Al...

I currently use Repcal w/D3, but I think I may change over to crushed limestone, same thing without the D3, and a 50 lb bag is like $5.00.

crushed limestone? cant say ive heard of this...what exactly is it, and what does it provide?

I was thinking of switching to Miner-All also, but I cant say I know much about it, although ive heard its pretty good. Any other opinions on this?
