I personally wouldn't use that. There's plenty of vitamin powders specifically formulated for reptiles that can be purchased in the reptile section of most pet stores. Zoo Med is a prominent brand. Through personal experience, I believe vitamin supplementation, besides maybe the occasional calcium and D3, isn't necessary when a Blue Tongue Skink is fed a proper diet.

Thanks for the feedback! I was leaning in that direction and I appreciate some confirmation.
