Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I found a wild EBT with an ear infection and would like to do an experiment with anesthesia. I know this sounds irresponsible and crazy, but I have read of success in doing this with dart frogs and have a friend doing research with other amphibians and this EBT offers me a chance to start research with reptiles. I would like to try anesthetizing this EBT with diluted alcohol. The past research by the others was done with beer diluted. Any help on dosage, administration, comments or concerns would be greatly appreciated. Any other home made anesthesia remedies would also be very interesting to hear. Thanks for your time.

Yes I figured that I would get lots of responses like these. Let me give you a little back round on myself before I get anymore: I am going on my fifth year going for a bio major with concentrations in herpetology and veterinary medicine. I have preformed many at home surgeries and minor operations, but with my recent move I can no longer get anesthesia, and with the always increasing legislation and drug enforcement I was getting more and more leery about possessing these type of drugs without a license. That is what lead me to research other anesthesia methods.

Note:
Beer has nothing harmful in it other than the alcohol and in fact is very nutritious. Ancient people made beer for just those reasons and researchers are uncertain of which came first beer or bread.

Does anyone know of any research done on the affects of alcohol on reptiles?

Thanks once again for your time.
