D3 is needed to metabolize calcium. So you need the rep-cal with D3. Sounds like that's what you have.
I also think that you should see a herp vet right away. They can give calcium shots that will make a difference very quickly.
Also be sure that you're not feeding spinach, cabbage, broccoli, or kale. All of these contain oxilates that block the absorbtion of calcium. Also carrots contain too much vitamin A to be fed more than rarely. Make sure your multivitamin has no vitamin A too. The rep-cal vitamins contain betacarotine instead of vitamin A. Not sure about the brand you are using since I never have.
