Calcium no, but I'm pretty certain that too much d3 can be posionous to a leopard gekco.

Ok well the dust I use on the crickets has d3 in it so if he eats about 8-10 little tiny crickets than how often should I use the dust?

You asked..."Is it possible to give a month old leo too much calcium or D3?"...Vitmin D3 produced by the leopard gecko is self-regulating....so it should never be possible for it to make too much...but if the vitamin D3 is from a supplement, then it does build up in the system and the gecko can have/get too much.
