Default Calcium Supplement For My Pictus

So, as you all know, my Madagascar Ground Gecko, Nemo, is growing up nice and healthy. But my problem is, I ran out of supplement, and had to pick up some more today. The reason why this is a problem, is because I'm not sure if I got the right stuff. I know it's a phosphorus-free calcium supplement and obviously know what it looks like.

When I got Nemo, buddy who sold him to me (private sale) also got me a little sample dish of calcium powder. I got that in Ontario and I'm not sure if this container I picked up is the same stuff or not. The sample dish I got said "Repti-Cal" on the little sticker label. This stuff I picked up today is Repti Calcium. I'm thinking it's the exact same stuff, but would rather hear from someone else just for safety reasons.

I wouldn't want Nemo to come across any problems with his health.

He should be fine. I use a calcium dust and a vitamin powder dust. Just make sure you don't overload the animal with too much supplemented vitamin D as it can cause toxicity in their blood and can be lethal.
