Ti tree oil, deadly to reptiles?

[formica]

there are a huge number of products that are safe for humans, but not for other animals, doesnt suprise me that tea tree oil is dangerous to reptiles, its powerful stuff.

always check with a vet before using anything on a reptile, or any other animal, its dangerous to assume that because something is good for humans that it is ok for any other creature!

strange, the only references I can find to tea tree oil and reptiles, is regarding toxicity...except for the product you mention by Zoo Med. going to see what my vet says tomorrow, perhaps at low enough concentration it is safer
