So went in to the rep shop yesterday and was talking about how some people give their snakes supplements and vitamins. The owner asked me if i'd tried sprinkling Mitchs food with crushed oyster shell for calcium, is it a good idea or not? Never heard of it before.

there is no need for calcium suppliments, corns get all they need from mice. The only time I would maybe think about using a calcium suppliment is with females I was pairing

They digest the bones in the mice, more than enough calcium in those.
