I would NOT change plain calcium in the dish.

Llghtly dust all RC's insects @ 1 feeding per week with ZM Repti Calcium with D3 + Repashy's Calcium Plus @ another feeding per week + the dish of plain calcium 24/7. I don't think adding ZM D3 calcium as mentioned would hurt if you see an issue too.

You may feel differently about free-range supplements. That's fine.

Are you basically doing Aliza's Schedule 144?

[Aliza's "every other feeding" for Repashy's Calcium Plus = 3 Repashy's dustings every 2 weeks. I realize all multivitamins are different.]

Does that apply to babies tho? They eat daily..

just noticed the one that hatched the other night has 1 small eye 1 normal eye.. almost couldnt tell lol.. looks like his bottom lip sticks out a hair further too.. he seems ok tho he can def see. im wondering if this is a genetic thing or something..

Is the small eye you're noticing the right eye?

I too wonder whether that's an inbreeding issue or just random. (I haven't read Aliza's article that you mention on missing and small eyes.)

Look closely at the additional chart at the foot of Aliza's schedule. From all I know that's how she doses hatchlings and juvies with Repashy's Calcium Plus: "every other feeding".

The feeding schedules Aliza recommends are numbered 1, 2, & 3 at the top of Schedules 144.

Yes the right eye.. Now i see why you were asking his relation to r.c lol. Honestly we didnt notice it till last night when we were socializing him / checking him out.

His father is from geckoboa and john works with the ndbe morph im wondering if Hercules has some of it in him.. That morph from my understanding can come with genetic eye deformities and im wondering that even tho Hercules isnt a visual maybe he is het for it or something and the eye thing is coming out..

I think ill know more next year when i pair him to a few more females.. If it keeps happening ill retire him as a breeder

Ive been tryin to follow her schedule for the adults and baby/juvi's but then i started doing the zoo med calcium with d3 once a week taking place of one of the repashy dustings. I use the word week loosely because 7 days is weird so i roll it over or whatever..

Thanks for repeating your latest hatchling's lineage. I might have scrolled back and figured it out, but life is short!

Have you a couple more eggs due from that pairing? If so, and the hatchlings show eye problems, I'd consider retiring Hercules now.

@acpart

I have 2 more eggs due to hatch and the 2 with eye issues do most resemble hercules instead of the mom cindy. I was gonna sell sarge but maybe ill hang on to him..


I have a secret.. I ordered another male from knc geckos he is a mack snow raptor..
