No, I am not a Vet and I do not play one on T.V., but I will graciously share my experiance on this matter.A few years back, I really got into studying and using Natural Herbs and Vitamins for my own well being and the difference that they have made, is more than noticeable. I have not even had a common cold or flu in years. The Vitamin, that I use on myself is Sea Silver and I also use Coral Calcium and Ester C and one more thing that I will bring up in a moment. I started using Sea Siver on my snakes " Sea Silver is made from colloidial silver water and fused with many vitamins and minerals. Silver, is one of the few things on earth that Bacteria and Viruses cannot build an immunity to. This, like most Natural Cures can be downplayed by doctors, but I know what it and other Herbs have done for my quality of life and others. " I usually put a single drop on the rat or mouse about every third feeding for babies and up it to about 2 or 3 drops up to five foot and five foot and above, I give a little better than a half of a cc injected into the pray. As I said; " I do this about every third feeding. " I have seen no bad effect from this and the animals seem to be very vibrant and more alert. As far as dosage, I can only tell you what I do. This is not an exact Science and unless you get rediculous, I do not believe you will have to worry about overdose, " I never have. " Another one of my little secrets is something that I LIVE BY for myself and my Reptiles and it is Acidophilus. Acidophilus, puts back the good bacteria in yours and the snakes digestive tract and brings the acid levels up a little bit. As far as I am concerned, it is a GOD SEND. It helps to stay more regular and helps to make digestion more productive and helps keep BAD BACTERIA at bay. I have used it to turn peoples problem Emeralds around for years and it does great for boas. It is very similar to Bene Bac. To get more bang for your buck, you can by 30 to 50 pills of it at your local pharmacy for 10 to 20 bucks. I give it to my Reptiles for maintanance about every 3 to 5 feedings and new arrivals get it every feeding for about 12 feedings. Just put the pill in the oral cavity of the prey item. You CANNOT OVERDOSE on Acidophilus, they will simply pass through what is not needed. I am giving away, way to many secrets here......Good Luck.......Johnson Herp
