Lady asked:


I found a baby lizard outside, a Western Fence Lizard. He is about 2 months old now. He started having what i though were seizures the other day. Someone said it might be because he needs more calcium.

So, i bought this powder stuff at the pet store. Its Calcium powder supplement with vitamins, by T-Rex. It’s called 2:0, calcium with no phosphorus. It said if my lizard eats bug, then i needed this type.

Well, im a little confused. It says if i dont give them enough, or if i give them too much , it could be deadly? But i dont know how much to give them. It just says to give it to them 1 time a day. How mcuh though?

He has a light over his cage. I got a incandescent light, thats what i was told to get. Its 60 watts.
