I put some in a dish because I had a female eating sand. Is it OK to ley her take calcium like this?

That method works fine. My animals also eat calcium from a dish. It is, by the way, not harmfull if they eat sand. Teratoscincus spp. do that all the time and I've never had any problems with impactation or whatsoever.

Dan (the Hemidactylus one) gave me his fruit recipe for Teratoscincus so I tried it and I suspect the sand smelled like honey/fruit where she took a bite.

I am useing a calcium compound mix (not only carbonate) in order to try and not have an antiacid effect as great.
