It's a good idea to supplement their diet with Calcium plus vitamin D3. The vitamin D3 is "fat soluble," so it can accumulate to unhealthy levels, but it is also required to help them metabolize the calcium. Just drag the last inch of a worm through the powder about once every week or two. Then present the clean end to the snake (if you use tweezers). If not, the snake will automatically start eating the clean end, followed by the end with the calcium powder. It shouldn't be given with every meal because of the vitamin D3 issue, but additional calcium is good for growing snakes and their young.

Personally, I crush one B-complex multi-vitamin tablet into a powder and mix it into the entire jar of calcium powder as well. The B-complex vitamins are water soluble, so overdosing them isn't a big concern. Yet, I only add one tablet to the entire calcium container. For non-gravid snakes, I only give calcium every 2-3 weeks.
