Has anybody used Benson & Sons Snake oil & reptile rub?

[Shadowy]

Doesn't sound like it's intended to kill mites, only to sooth the skin from bites, & I'm not sure that snake skin responds well to oils of any kind, though I know
for sure you don't want to use an oil that's petroleum based (like Vaseline), as it somehow makes their scales "de-laminate".

The ingredients may be "all natural" but they are normally never applied to snakes, so I don't know. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on my own skin, but not sure
whether I'd put on a snake...let us know if you do?

I’ll for sure update this thread if I use it. I asked someone who owns reptiles and she said she’s used it on a minor rat bite before with no issues. She said it’s mostly to prevent itching from the healing process so they don’t try to rub against stuff. I’d worry they’d get in the water dish and drink it. Like you said “all natural” doesn’t mean it should be ingested or put on an animal.

When I first saw "snake oil" I must admit I thought the worst... (image from the Old West with a covered
wagon full of "snake oil"- made from snakes- & the con-man pitching for sales...)

Me too! It’s poor marketing that they call their product that! I actually skimmed over the ingredients in the store to make sure there wasn’t anything actually made from snakes in it.
