Reptaid - any experience?

[Redstrike]

Has anyone used this product? I'm curious and would like to hear any testimonials. Their website is, of course, a hyperbole of praise for the product.

If this has been covered previously, steer me toward that thread. Thanks!

I do not have any first hand information about how well it works....however, I have been researching it and I may use it on the RF here that came to me a bit under the weather....I have to read about a bit more before I commit to trying it out....if I do I will share the experience

I used it about 2 yrs ago on my bearded dragon but I can't remember why. It didn't hurt him. A lot of people on my BD forum were buying it and seemed to like it. I have such a bad memory.

I used it when one of torts was on bytril for an RI and did not want to eat after I started using it her appetite picked up and started eating like normal again

What exactly is it aiding? As far as I knew, the Immune system fights against Parasites and Infection. Want a healthy Immune system? Proper husbandry is all you need.......

"Administering" proper husbandry is also easy, quicker, and more efficient than this will ever be........

Thanks Corey, this is the type of information I was looking for.

Angela, if you get some and wind up using it on a sick/parasitized tort, let us know how it works.

Kathy, If your recollection strikes you, let us know as well!

Eric,
Tortoises in captivity get parasites and disease due to the captive environment even with good husbandry. I agree, good husbandry is critical to avoid parasites & disease, but it still happens despite our best efforts. I was just curious to see if anyone that had a sick tortoise previously had used this product and what results they've seen with it, irrespective of husbandry.
