funny you should post that as I had that very conversation with my vet today (chameleon with calcium issues). As he pointed out, it does not dissolve well and as for amount no more than he would get with dusted crickets.

BUT...before doing that, I would ask the vet about it. If he feels he needs calcium he may opt to give him an injection (only about $15) instead.
