Re: Reptile Vitamins?
Usual reptile vitamins are geared more towards lizards that are prone to metabolic bone disease or other deformities when raised without supplemental calcium. Never heard of Carnivore Care, though. Looks interesting. Looking at what's in it and the nutrient ratios it has, I wonder if it might benefit young snakes that are still growing? I can see why it would accelerate growth rates(boosted calories, protein, and fat) and improve skin quality(key vitamins and fatty acids). However I would be concerned that there may be something that could eventually lead to a cumulative overdose...none of the vitamins or minerals are particularly high, but there hasn't really been research done to identify target levels of these nutrients for snakes so we don't know what a healthy amount would be for them. If I can find reports of people who have used it for many years on many individuals that might set my mind at ease.
