While rifling through a bag of reptile enclosure junk I got from a friend I found a small bottle of Reptivite+D³. After reading through some of the threads I found in the archive before I decided to ask this question again. I am pretty certain I will get the same answers but I thought I should still ask in case there were any changes in husbandry in this area in the ten years since the last time someone asked.

Reptivite is fine. A tiny pinch 2-4 times a month will do no harm. With a good varied weedy diet and good supplemental foods, a vitamin supplement really isn't "necessary".

I use this for my old world Chameleons from time to time. Because of their menu.

As for my tortoises. I totally rely on a varied diet and real sunlight.
And I use a calcium supplement for hatchling tortoises. Which I seldom have.
