I havent finished yet kaplan's book, but any of you use this for calcium supplement?

Yes but not in that form, iggies won't eat it like that (in my experience).

Crush abit of it into a loose powder and sprinkle on the food

Well, in the wild, iguanas typically wake up and bask for most the morning, and then once they've reached their optimal body temp for the day, they'll start foraging for food in the shadier parts of their habitat.

So I suggest taking him out somewhere between 9-12 and let him bask.
