I have never tryed to use powder cal. in water, they do have a liquid I think. But what every you can do to get calcium into your collard will work just fine. Also ckeck your temps in your cage, they might be a little low. You want a Basking spot in your tank at about 105f and on the other side at about 10-15 degrees cooler for thermo regulation. Also if you could get him real sunlight 15-20 min a day to help boost him calcuim production.

I put a pinch or 2 on their basking spot/slate. I spilled some on the floor awhile ago and Chippewa , one that free roams came over and took mouthfuls, was amazing.
I have seem many others take it like this too.
