I'm wondering if this is alright? I know it is made of keratin but I do not know the composition. Can snakes skin sheds have adequate calcium to replace calcium powder? Because we have plenty.

That's interesting, but I don't think so. I'd expect more calcium from bone. I know there are ground squirrels that chew up and rub snake skin on themselves to mask their scent.
