Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

what vitamin powder?
Most any care sheet you read regarding leopard geckos will suggest having a vitamin powder available.
Which powders might be appropriate for this?
Is there a good guideline for quantity/frequency?

Rep-cal is the best out there. Dust your crickets in the powder. about every other feeding.

Zoo Med's Repti-vite and Calcium is the best. They do not use Shell fish. It is ultrafine and it is also ultra percipitated. You can get it with or without D3.

actually, virtually none of the powders out there now are sufficient. Studies have shown that reptiles need an approx. 1:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorous (the top zoos mix their own powders with 1:1 ratios). most feeder insects are already high in calcium but lack much phosphorous. But since you're stuck, repcal is probably your best bet.

Is there a better resource? I wouldn't mind mixing my own.
