just thought i would ask if anyone uses water treatments in their snakes water bowl? be it vit' supplement or otherwise?

i have started using aquatize conditioner by exo-terra, this is supposed to remove metals from tap water Exclamation

in the past I've also used reptasol liquid vit' from time to time.

i know snakes are supposed to get everything they need from the rodents in which they feed on, but just wondering if anyone does do that extra little something to perhaps give their animals that extra edge Wink

any thoughts?

Andy

I don't normally treat my snakes' water, but if I have one that has been ill or hasn't fed for a while I put some Avipro in it.

I put BSP drops in all my snakes water. I've found it helps my snakes shed whole sloughs rather than in bits, but it can take a while to get into there system.

I've used aquatize too and the electolyze, I also have reptoboost here for if it's needed.

I use avipro for royals, it can be like magic with some royals, to get them eating well.
