I have used powdered egg shells for about 7 months now. Providing your Tegus get a lot of uvb a D3 supplement shouldn't be necessary but a little once a week can't hurt.
I use 1/4 teaspoon for 5-6 ounces of ground meats. I also grind multivitamins up and mix 1/4 tsp per pound of ground meats. I once used the Fluker brand for my reptiles but compared their contents to a measured amount of a ground multi vitamin simular to Centrum and switched. So far so good. This sort of follows the SDZ diet, (it was never used as the official Varanus diet of the zoo however).
