A proper ratio of fat soluable vitamins for your ig would be Vit.A: Vit.D: Vit.E 100:10:1
Reptocal has a ratio of about 1000:10:1, this can lead to vitamin A toxicity as the excess is stored in fat cells, not disposed of.
The label says its the best thing for reptiles since sliced bread, but remember that reptile products are unregulated and manufacturers can claim whatever they want.
