should a water monitor have calcium with or without phosphorus?? thanks.

You dont need supplements except with insects. I only use Miner-all with my ackie and my fiancees beardie, which eat lobster roaches as the majority of their diet. Miner-all has vit.D3 and calcium with a whole slew of natural elements, the rest of their vitamins come naturally in well fed prey items.
Phosphorus is something found in heavy amounts in green vegetation as the problem with supplemental phosphorus is with herbivores, as they get loads in their diet.
Feed whole rodents and birds to medium and large monitors then you wont need supplements. Although if you choose to I can see an occaisional added supplement (once every few weeks or so).
