worming lizards etc.

hi there..worm-out gel is fine...one ml. per kg. with a minimum of one to be used each time what is important [imo] is to back -up the treatment in 12-13 days to break the gestation or egg laying cycle.... remember most parasites lay 20,000 eggs plus a day and yes they have a high mortality rate but that is still a lot of eggs....cheers solar 17 [Baden]

Would that be the same with Snakes Baden,or just lizards.What if you want to worm a 6month old,do you use half a ml,or wait til its atleast 1kg in weight.

 

[kupper]

just calculate the dose based on weight wiht a calculater adn get your self a very small syrindge
if your confident enough you can administer it direct or inject it into the snakes food
