Do any of you give vitamin supplements to your snakes?

If so, what do you use, and how much and how is it administered?

Thanks!!!

Since they eat whole prey, they get pretty much all they need. Don't even need UV light like lots of herps. One forum member recently pointed out that the possible exception may be females who are laying eggs: A little extra calcium may be of help.

If my snakes have trouble shedding (sometimes caused by a vitamin defeincy ) , i coat the bum end of their food with a multi vitamin such as nekton or a sera multi v. I will also do it once every couple of months if all the particular snake eats is frozen thawed. lol, my hognose made the best face one time...it must taste weird.
