Using a calcium supplement that also adds phosphorous makes no sense, as an adequate Ca:P ratio can never be achieved. Bone meal contains phosphorous.
Rep Cal Ultrafine Calcium without Vitamin D3 (4.1 oz.) contains only 100% Natural phosphorous-free oyster shell Calcium Carbonate for its calcium source.

This is exactly what your reptile needs to get all the calcium to prevent MBD, but not give them too much D3. My Beardie loves it and I add it to her salads and on her crickets. I couldn't find it at any stores, so I was glad to be able to order it and get such prompt service.

I use this calcium dust because I use an MVB. If you have a regular UVB tube you need to use calcium with D3. I only use Rep-Cal because it's better for my bearded dragon than any other vitamin supplement out there.

Most reptile owners aren't aware that the majority of leading Calcium supplements can actually do more harm than good, because of their Phosphorus to Calcium ratio.
Rep-Cal's Calcium with no D3 is not one of these brands. It only contains 1% Phosphorus!
This is hands down the most recommended Calcium supplement on the market. Ask any Reptile owner who's been in the hobby for years and they'll tell you the same!
Now, because this has no D3 in it, you'll want to use it for your nocturnal Lizards that need very little to no sunlight.
For sun-loving lizards, check out Rep-Cal's Calcium WITH D3 available from Petmountain.com as well.
