Never tried it, so couldn't vouch for it. But will say that I NEVER trust before and after pics with chameleons, just cuz it's too easy to change them up. Heck, that big beauty of a male all you have to do is show him a girl, another male, or even toss a mirror up and booya! Look how good he looks now! Just saying. Again NOT saying that I wouldn't try it, just saying that I don't trust cham pics.

I have used this product on a veiled that had some problems and it worked for him. He had an eye problem and did not eat well. It helped all of this. I don't know how it would work with a snake. I contacted them about how to dose a snake. They said to feed them small feeders and dose them twice a week.
This product is made buy amber tech. I can tell you they make awsome products for dogs and cats and they work. I have a male rottie who contracted parvo at 7 months of age (after he had all his shots). I used parv-aid to help in his recovery and he is now a 4 year old healthy dog.

I can only comment on a few aspects of the product.

Olive leaf extract, Mustard, and Clove and Grapefruit Seed Extract are wonderful extracts and do perform as represented in the ad. Alcohol is a necessary solvent to get the essential oils out of those herbs and spices. I cannot comment on "Black Seed" or "Pau D'arco".

If used, I would watch my animals very closely, and NEVER exceed the recommended dosage. Clove has a natural numbing effect, and I wouldn't want the animal to then eat, and not be able to properly digest if overdosed on the clove. Mustard can be an irritant in high doses. It's action as a mild irritant can be why they state that it helps "move acute conditions from the body more quickly". Irritants like clove and mustard can have a thermogenic effect, raising body temperature, in essence creating a fever where none exists, to help burn out the disease/parasite.

If you wanted to use the olive leaf and grapefruit seed extracts without the clove, mustard, etc. you can get tinctures of these at the healthfood store. They have lovely anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and tonic properties and can be ingested safely.

I would consider this product, just from a survey of the ingredients, not as a front line of defense, but as a later or last resort. I hope you aren't having to consider this because of compromised health in any of your animals, and wish you the best if that is indeed the case.

Yeah I've actually been thinkin of getting some of that to have on hand. Scott over at CV exotics has some and apparently it works great and does just about everything it claims to. Me :dunno: I'm a skeptic til I see it actually happen but I think there might be some truth to it.

Agreed. I've been using GSE for years for all sorts of things and it's awesome stuff.

Never tried the Reptaid, I'm leery of homeopathic remedies that I didn't mix myself and some of the ingredients in them.
