    NutriBAC Probiotic

    How much NutriBAC probiotic powder and water should I mix to administer to a 500+gram ball python? I might be doing this for my 1000+gram adults as well. I would put the powder into the water bowl if I can. How long should I leave it in there before I need to change the water? I can dust my feeders, because they are live and my snake is currently not eating.

    Why are you using this stuff in the first place? It is totally unnecessary...

    I'm curious too as to why you are trying to use it? There's no need to use any supplementions for on feed or even a non feeding ball.
    Has the animal had a regurge? That's the only time I've seen people use probiotics. I've seen probiotics used more with lizards and geckos that are being treated for parasites.
    But a regular fasting ball and or a non-ill animal wouldn't need this.

    It always amazes me how new products appear and that some how some people are compelled to buy them

    Your BP does not need any supplements he gets everything he need from it's prey items.

    Re: NutriBAC Probiotic

    I left out the reason why I wanted to use it. One of my snakes was diagnosed with pin worms so I had to treated most of my snakes with panacur. I wanted to replenish the "good" microbes.

    If the snake needs it, the same vet that gave you Pancur would have given you that as well, I imagine.
