Rescued burm need some advice

[bcr229]

I’ve had two other snakes that were rescues (ball python and Colombian rainbow boa) that I received in poor condition- dehydrated, severely under-weight, etc. Both of mine were seen by my vet who prescribed a supplement to dust onto their rats due to their poor condition. Not sure what that product was any more since that was over 20 years ago, and may have been unnecessary, but my bp in particular was in very poor shape and we both wanted to give him every opportunity to recover and thrive. I’d say it worked because I’ve had him for 26 years.

There is a reptile probiotic powder called NutriBAC that helps debilitated critters, or those coming off of a course of antibiotics, to re-establish good gut flora. Perhaps that was it.

Dusting a pinch of the powder onto the burm's damp f/t feeder certainly wouldn't hurt.
