Lapping Up Too Much Calcium Supplement

Hello all!

I brought a new adult Leo home this weekend and she is just now seeming to become a bit more comfortable--YAY!

She has not yet eaten (I bought her at an expo on Saturday and it is currently Tuesday night), but I noticed tonight that she is sitting next to the milk jug cap full of Rep-Cal, lapping away.

I have never actually SEEN a gecko do this before. I do know that my other gecko does it on occasion but I haven't witnessed it. Have you all ever seen this behavior in action? Does it seem like they are eating a bunch of it when you do see it?

Thanks for the help!
