Unsure about my two new Leos

Well, I originally thought that my two new geckos were MBD-free, but after looking at some pictures, I was kind of unsure if you will.

I took lots of pictures and recorded both of them walking (Please excuse the quality) Could you guys perhaps see if they're showing signs of MBD? Excuse me for my roughness during the videos, I was trying to get them to walk a couple of steps.

So what do you guys think? Do they seem okay to you?

They look fine to me in the pictures ( I haven't seen the videos im at work)
Watch out for curvatures in the legs and kinked backs.
They look ok from where I am, But keep and eye on them.

And another question. Is it required for me to buy calcium both with D3 and without D3? Will they do fine without D3? Will they do fine with just Calcium w/ D3?

You will get a variety of answers for this because it is debatable.

Most people use both. They put the calcium without D3 in the tank, and dust with the calcium that has D3.

I'm different. I've been using calcium with D3 in the tank and to dust for years. I have found that leopard geckos seem to be able to regulate the amount of D3 they absorb, and I have never, ever had a problem with it.

TOO much D3 can be toxic...but i've NEVER seen it happen in a reptile. That's not to say it can't, it absolutely can. However, i'm confident my reptiles are healthy with the routine they are used to.
