I use Jurassi-Cal calcium supplement. It's phosphorus and vitamin D3 free. You NEED to get a calcium supplement that's D3 free, since this vitamin is very easy to overdose and could harm your geckos.

As for cleaning the dish, I only do it on a per-need basis. It's not like calcium can rot or even mold so long as it's dry. Most of the time my geckos lick the dish clean in a week or so, and then I put some more in. No biggie.

I clean out my calci dish once a week. I don't put mass quantities in the dish to begin with, so i throw away very little.

I use Rep-cal regular calcium 3 weeks out of the month, then the rep-cal with d3 in it, one week out of the month. Then once a month (not on a d3 week) i add herptivite as a vitamin supplement. Been working out nice

I use pure calcium daily and add reptivite with d3 once a week now. I dump it when it gets dirty or low. I use a tiny petri dish and put about 1/2 teaspoon in it so its not wasted if they walk through it with wet feet or decide to take a dump in it lol
