To much calcium?

Can you give a reptile to much calcium? I know if given to much, they will poop it out. But with D3 can they absorb to much and end up with hypercalcemia. Am I correct to understand that the UVB rays create the natural D3 in the reptile's system and allows the reptile to absorb the correct amount of calcium, but when given calcium with D3 they can absorb to much?
