    What are your thoughts on the product, Reptaid?
    Hey everyone,
    I went to the Hamburg expo in pa yesterday and came across a vendor selling the product "Reptaid". It is a natural supplement that he said is used as a dewormer but at the same time to fight out infections such as URI. He said instead of using Baytril, you would use Reptaid. I am just curious if anyone has used this product before with ball pythons and your experiences?

    Thanks in advance,
    Javier

    actually it makes sense....

    animals that aren't eating well or have low libido because they are sick, IF it actually works and makes them feel better they start eating again and moving around. I don't think you should give it to your animal because its not eating well.

    the color thing is probably referring to animals where diet can effect their color, but feed your animal the correct diet and this is also not needed

    Also i just looked and the domain they list "For more information go to www.biochemresearch.com" and its just an ad site, this draws a lot of red flags to me, fake references hm......

    naturally i'm automatically leary of the herbal stuff that boasts at being better able to treat such serious things like infections, etc.
    "dont take those antibiotics with all those side effects. take this stuff. it's natural and gentler then those conventional pharmaceuticals."

    no thx :colbert: i'll take my chances with a few side effects.
