I'm not sure we know for sure. So much also depends on what is in your gutload. Bone health is due to a balance of phosphorus and calcium, not either one alone. I know some keepers use pure calcium carbonate for dust, but so many of us use Rep-Cal and Miner All successfully also. There are some great articles on herp nutrition and calcium metabolism on these sites that might make it clearer for you.
