UVB Light with Vitamin D3 supplements?

I’m fairly new to the hobby, and I want what’s best for my Leo. I currently have a 5% UVB 30% UVA light above the hot side of my terrarium, and I was wondering if I should still supplement his food with Repashy every feeding (which is everyday, he’s a baby) or if I should supplement less because of the UVB light. I don’t want to have a D3 overdose, so I was wondering what I should do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A lot of it depends on how much the gecko is out of the hide during the day. If it's completely inside the hide all day as far as you can tell, it may not be getting any benefit from the light. If it is out for some time when the light is on, consider dusting its food every other feeding, and definitely go to every other feeding when it gets older.
