Vitamin and Calcium Supplements

[NickeyV]

I was wondering what do you use when it comes to giving your snake vitamins and calcium? Like what kinds and do you use more than one and how do you do it? I just want to know just in case for any future snakes and babies.

This is what I use.

We use an ExoTerra product which is essentially the same as the stuff Steve has linked to, it's available in the UK unlike the Rep-Cal products. I'm more fussy about adding it to fish for the girls that don't eat pinkies.

Just thought it was worth updating this for UK keepers, as RepCal is now available in the UK from Big Reptile World. I believe that they are the exclusive stockists in the UK at the moment. Of course there's other calcium plus D3 powders available (and I've still got another year's supply of the ExoTerra powder I use), but RepCal seems to be the preferred brand for many US keepers.

I use Arkvits powder which is vits and calcium together,every two weeks just dip the back end of a worm in it and the snake does the rest:)

I use Minerall indoor every third/fourth feeding in small amounts
I use Vita Totaal (a multivitamin powder for reptiles) every/every second feeding in small amounts.
I added extra Thiamine to the The Vita Totaal.

When I feed, for example, chickenheart and or salmonfilet next to the smelt, I always add Vita Totaal.

Is Nutrobal available in the US?I've heard that it's the best.

Chickenheart? Like a heart from a chicken, or is this a fish that I'm not aware of?
