i saw some sort of vitamins for reptiles, think it said lizards, turtles and snakes, that you spinkle on/in their food.

just wondered if anyone else added any sort of supplement to their snakes diet and if so what?

Is not really required for sakes in good health. I did add reptoboost to the water of my female corns before and after egg laying.

Its used as an alternative to reptoboost, it perks up sick reptiles but the reptoboost is by far the better option as it contains a lot of good stuff for the reptiles stomach. I'd only use powerade if it was a choice between that or nothing, other than that its reptoboost all the way.
