Do any of you use reptile calcium suppliments. I have 5 females that laid this year and wanted to know if it will really help them or should I just keep feeding them quality rats? Thanks Chris

calcium supplements are for lizards and frogs, snakes do not need any additional calcium over what they get from their food. E

Just keep feeding quality rats. They'll take care of their own calcium with digested bone.
