Question 1

Will this work for 3 year old corn snake? Can it be added to water?

Accepted Answer

It can't be added to water, because it would be hard to dose and your snake probably wouldn't drink it. It smells strongly of alcohol and my snake won't take it by mouth, so I inject it into pre-killed mice and rats instead.

Question 2

My turtle keeps spitting it out, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

LARGER OR ADULT TURTLES AND TORTOISES

Treating larger or adult turtles and tortoises can certainly be a challenge.  In all cases the dosing is per the chart above.  However, the largest dose to give any animal in one day is .5ml of Reptaid XL.  This is the dose for a 10lb animal but it is also the dose for a 50lb or 100 lb tortoise.

The method of administering the dose to the larger chelonians is open to the imagination.  Everyone will develop their own method.  As long as the animal is eating, you simply have to add the Reptaid XL to the food item. Injecting the Reptaid XL into a bug or dribbling the herbs on greens is very easy.  Injecting the Reptaid XL into a treat, such as a strawberry or other fruit works very well.  Sometimes even  a sick tortoise will not turn away a strawberry.

Question 3

Will this work on my baby tortoise didn’t realize this was xl ?

Accepted Answer

Indeed you typically would want the regular Reptaid however the formula is the same in the XL but just more concentrated.  You can dilute the Reptaid XL;  1 part Reptail XL, 7 parts water.  I would only do the dilution in small quantities/batches as the added water greatly reduces how long the product will be effective for due to the greatly reduced alcohol percentage post mixture.

Question 4

Does reptaid xl need to be refregerated after opened?

Accepted Answer

No.
