Benson & Sons Snake Oil?

Has anyone ever tried this. Here are thier claims.

"Benson & Sons Snake Oil is for skin problems from cuts, scrapes, bites, and mites. Benson & Sons Snake Oil is all natural, not toxic insecticides, Benson & Sons Snake Oil has been reported to be the ONLY thing to treat the bites and mites for Burmese pythons, and dry skin on monitor lizards."

It looks safe but is it safe for all snakes. It looks like a great product for external parasites like ticks and mites.

What does everyone think.

Go with the stuff known to work. black knight, provent a mite.

Keeping them too oily can stimulate too-frequent sheds, from what I understand though I haven't kept any oily enough to test it out for myself. I'd rather go with vet-recommended products like Black Knight, neosporin, and the occasional soak.

Hehe....sounds like "snake oil" to me! :P

("Snake oil" being a turn-of-the-century term for bogus medicince)

What Marla said. I guess that oil can actually make sheds difficult and "sticky", and thus hard for the snake to get off itself. I have used zoomed's mite spray, and it killed off my snakes' ticks in a few weeks time. All natural ingredients like carrot extract, and you can put it right on the snakes and it isn't oily.

We have treated all of the above with different treatments that work beautifully.
I never recomend putting oil on you snake.
