I've never seen any reason to use supplements for snakes. Rodents are a nutritionally complete food source.



Flagyl and Panacur are best administered by a vet. If the snake has a large parasite load and too much parasite killer is given, the overly large death of the parasite load can cause problems for the snake.



Generally speaking, things like Panacur and Flagyl are not given to a snake unless it is known to have parasites.
