:Hello all, just a quick question. Dont know if this is possible to do or not, but can I inject Calcium Gluconate (23%) into the thawed fuzzies im feeding my yearling cornsnakes? The CG was left over from when I was treating a chameleon that had MBD, and I know I wouldnt need to put very much in them, just .01 cc's or so. Has anyone done this? Any numbers I can get as to how many cc's is ok? Or is this just a waste of time? I also have Aluminium Hydroxide. Dont know what that is for honestly, anyone have an idea? I'll do some searching to see if I come up with anything.
:


Im not positive about snakes, but they might be able to develop a calcium build-up if they have too much. And that wouldnt be good. I wouldnt do it.
Matt
