    Would anybody recommend any supplements for my python?

    I only ever feed him his Rat once a week and I was wondering if there was any supplements that are good for snakes? For example my leopard gecko has calcium powder sprinkled on his food.

    My pythons vivarium is perfect temperature and humidity and overall a very healthy snake.

    Just like plants can have extra vitamins in its water for example.

    Don't waste your money on supplements, simply not needed.

    I think it was a youtube video I saw that did an experiment with supplements for snakes. Anyway the baby corns that were fed mice dusted with supplements actually grew somewhat faster. Now it was several years ago I saw this video so dont quote me.
    Anyway I tried dusting a snakes food a couple times then and they wouldnt touch the mice at all so I gave up. I already had the vitamin powder for a lizard so it wasnt a big deal.
