:Snakes don't need calcium supplementation like lizzards do. Since snakes eat the whole animal bones and all they get lots of calcium in a normal diet.

:I think you may be doing more harm than good.

In addition, the calcium/phosphorus ratio is correctly balanced in rodent bones. Adding calcium will throw that ratio off, which isn't good for the snake. Save the calcium gluconate for another lizard with MBD.
