I don't think you should be using anything that isn't for bearded dragons. Even then, you have to watch what you get. You don't want much phosphorus and you don't want synthetic vitamin A. I would get these for him.

Do you have a Pet Center near you? I see their web site but can't read any of it but it looks like they sell reptile supplements. Sorry I am not familiar where you can purchase items there. Maybe someone else can help you more.

You don't have to be sorry I really appreciate your help

I will just do a little more research Thanks

I would think the best place to buy supplements (IMO) is amazon... Idk if that is a viable option or not but I was trying to help.

Good Luck!

It may not be harmful but from what I can see the vitamin A and D are a bit high. Not by a whole lot though as far as I know. For comparison, here is what is in Repashy's all in one supplement.

INGREDIENTS: Calcium Carbonate, Dried Kelp, Dried Brewer’s Yeast, RoseHips, Calendula Flower, Marigold Flower, Paprika, Hibiscus Flower, Algae Meal, Turmeric, Rosemary Extract, Natural Fruit Flavor, Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate, Zinc Methionine Hydroxy Analogue Chelate, Manganese Methionine Hydroxy Analogue Chelate, Copper Methionine Hydroxy Analogue Chelate, Selenium Yeast. Vitamins: (Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Calcium L-Ascorbyl-2-Monophosphate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Beta Carotene, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B-12 Supplement).

Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein min. .2%, Crude Fat min. .2%, Crude Fiber max. 4%, Moisture max. 8%, Calcium min. 17%, Vitamin A min. 200,000 IU/lb, Vitamin D min. 20,000 IU/lb, Vitamin E min. 2,000 IU/lb.

The Supervite has similar vitamin levels:
INGREDIENTS: Cellulose Powder and Calcium Carbonate (as carriers), Vitamins: (, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Beta Carotene, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B-12 Supplement).

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS: Vitamin A 200,000 IU/lb, Vitamin D 20,000 IU/lb, Vitamin E 2,000 IU/lb, Vitamin K (Metadione) 30 mg/lb, Vitamin C (L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate) 2,500 mg/lb, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCL) 40 mg/lb, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 70 mg/lb, Vitamin B5 (Patothenic Acid) 130 mg/lb, Niacin 450 mg/lb, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL) 55 mg/lb, Vitamin B12 .4 mg/lb, Folic Acid 20 mg/lb, Biotin 2 mg/lb, Choline 5,000 mg/lb, Beta Carotene 500 mg/lb.

I'm not sure if or where you can get this in Czech Republic but I would look for something similar. If you aren't able to get a similar supplement locally, you can order from the UK and have it shipped. It's expensive, but a jar lasts for quite a while as only a little is needed for each meal.
