Flagyl or its generic name, Metronidazole, is equally difficult to overdose. Metronidazole is an interesting drug that effects the DNA of anearobic bacteria and has been link with many positive side effects including appetite stimulant and normalizing excessive immune reactions. How these effect occur is not currently understood, but one thing that herpetologist have discovered, it when combined with Panacur,Fenbendazole, the effects of the drugs are increased over taken them seperately. I have treat hundreds of snakes over the last ten years and never had a problem with it. I would recommend routine use on newly imported snakes, especially those imported from Asia which often have high parasite loads.
