Kevin, as an addition to what has already been said, in my opinion, you should NOT use any D3 suppliment. If you want to suppliment, you should use only pure calcium (Calcium Carbonate) which is available in the pet stores. Igs manufacture D3 from skin exposure to UVB radiation, just as we do. One of the reasons that dog food, monkey chow, cat food, etc. are so bad for igs is that they contain high levels of D3. High blood levels of D3 can lead to a condition known as hypervitaminosis, and serious complications. If you're using the proper UVB light (zoo-med iguanalight or reptisun, or Activeuv), they'll make all the D3 they need.

Best regards,
