I dont feed my animals vitamins every time or anything but if you look at poison dart frogs as an example, you will find that these frogs lose thier toxicity in captivity. This is attributed to something in the diet they recieve in the wild but not in captivity. No matter how hard we try we cant duplicate mother nature, not with all the technology in the world. So I feed a liquid vitamin (REPTILE VITAMIN) to give my snakes a little boost and hopefully replace what they could have lost. And just as a side note Im guessing that the vitemins formulated for reptiles were designed unfortunatly at the exspense of reptiles so to say it is not husbandry I think is somewhat closed minded.
