So where can I get calcium that has no D3 in it? Can't I go to CVS and crush up so normal calicum tablets (or keep them whole so he can lick it?)

Im not sure about the crushing up the pills thing, But I think that you can buy the calcium power without D3 at either www.bigappleherp.com or at www.lllreptile.com

You can also get it at a reg petstore. I got some called Reptical at petsmart. It doesn't have any D3 in it. Just look on the lable and it will tell you.

So D3 isnt good??

You can get a bottle of Reptile calcium from probably any petstore or pet website for around $5-$8 just depends what size you need and brand, probably close to what you would pay at CVS for a bottle of tablets. I still wouldn't use calcium tablets from CVS unless that is all they were was pure calcium. Even if you saving a buck or two buying tablets you still have to crush them up and it might have something in there not listed on the label that might harm a reptile.
You leave plain calcium without D3 in the cage, and dust food with the calcium with D3. The D3 helps them absorb it better. Check out this other post it goes into detail better. http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=574385,574385
