Pro-Bio=NutriBAC?

[SquamishSerpents]

yes, exactly. why do you think snakes sometimes are injected with Baytril, I think i've maybe even heard of Fluconazole injections, both human drugs.

it was just a thought, anyways. i've never used Nutribac, so i don't know a lot about it, other than it's for regurges. regurges are not something i've had to deal with on a regular basis (so far)

extra vitamin B would not be safe in snakes

in humans too much sugar = diabetes
too less sugar = diabetes

in humans too much vitamin c = nausea and diarrohea
in humans too less vitamin c = scurvy

vitamin b supplements only given to snakes if their diet has been altered to an animal that contains an enzyme thimanese which breaks down vitamin b and therefore causes nervous disruption like tremours in the snake

this are only given in rare case scenarios and by a vet and not by supplements unless instructed by vet

I understand that a HUGE amount of vitamin B would be bad.
The amount of vitamin B a human needs to cause side effects is HUGE.

I don't think that the amount in this product is going to do anything to the snake, especially since it is a reptile product.

I know why vitamin B supplements are prescribed to snakes, but this is an over-the-counter probiotic that contains vitamin B in a supplement amount.

(The link you included said that while extreme amounts of vitamin B can be harmful, taking a vitamin B complex plus a multivitamin with vitamin B plus an antioxidant with vitamin B would only give you 1/10 of what you need to reach a toxic level.)

I agree with you.

in humans, yes large amounts are needed

however, snakes a lot smaller than humans, and do not have the same complexity as a human

and yes vit B is a reptile product, but giving excess to a snake especially if it has a normal level already regardless of regurge can be harmful

and i am illustrating the point that is only given to snakes that have a deficit in vit B because of they eating animals that have the thimanese enzyme which destroys vit b inside a snake

I understand what you are saying, however I don't want the OP to think that their snake is in any danger of a vitamin B overdose if she uses this probiotic. The amount of vitamin B in this product will not harm her corn snakes. She is not using it long-term, and her snakes will be fine.
