I know it says it's for hermit crabs but if it is just calcium, i don't see the problem. but yet again that is why i am asking other people. I also have to option of getting this :

I already have calcium with D3 for my leopard gecko i dust with every day since he's young and i have no other regular calcium supplement to give to him (right now i put some of the calcium w D3 powder in a cap in his cage just to suffice for now). I need just regular calcium but i don't know what would work as a substitute for now until i can obtain actual reptile calcium powder. Would crushing up human calcium pills work? i really need help so please if you could i would appreciate it. Thank you.

If you're giving him calcium with D3, then you're already giving him calcium and there's no big emergency to get more. The reason some people get plain calcium is either because they want to have some plain calcium in the enclosure (leopard geckos don't need all that much D3) or they sant to alternate dusting with plain calcium and calcium with D3. In my opinion, one of the best supplements on the market is Repashy Calcium Plus which is an all in one (calcium, D3, Vitamins). I dust with this every other feeding (alternate feedings I don't dust at all). I do put a small dish of plain calcium in the enclosures for my hatchlings, but not the juveniles or the adults. In your case, get the first product at your convenience (in my opinion calcium is calcium). I don't know anything about the spray stuff. Put a small amount of the plain calcium when you get it in the cage and dust with the D3 every other feeding.

Okay well thank you. I think calcium is calcium too. So i might just end up with the powder of regular calcium if i can manage to get it. My leo is still a baby. so i just want to put something in his cage while dusting his food. I still have to get him multivitamins too.

See if you can find the Repashy and it will be all in one.

does that mean if i get repashy i can leave a bit in their cage or no?

Probably better not to, since there's a lot of stuff in there. You could always get the calcium plain and the Repashy as well. After a few months the gecko will probably not need extra calcium.
