In Reply to: Is it absolutely necessary to use these on wild caughts? posted by Snakey on May 11, 2003 at 20:04:21:

Its EXTREMELY easy to overdose your monitors. I learned this first hand when I used to worm liberally every six months. I was told that food items such as crickets and mice give our monitors harmful parasites, so it was imparative to worm regularily. I now know what a load of bs all that was. I agree with SHvar about recommending treatment for those who only absolutely need it. ALWAYS be super aware of you dosage. You want to kill the parasites not your critters.
I learned the hard way, and would hate to see some one else have to experience that loss.
