I may have added this earlier and I apologize if I did. A great source of calcium carbonate are egg shells. I save the shells when I have eggs myself or scramble them up for the Tegu's. I dry them for three or four days or until the membrane is completely dry. Then I use a coffee grinder to powder the shells and use the powder liberally on my T's food. I use a reptile calcium powder with D3 about once a week and blend a little Herp vitamin powder when I pre-prepare my turkey / liver/ gizzard portions.
It seems to work well and my vet, who has a working knowledge of reptiles thinks that it is a good way to supplement.
