Herptivite Multivitamin

A multivitamin to round out a reptile's diet, using beta-carotene so it cannot cause vitamin-A toxicity. Dust it on a couple of times a week.

Our take

Even a good diet can miss vitamins, and a multivitamin fills the gaps, but reptiles can be poisoned by too much preformed vitamin A. Herptivite sidesteps that by using beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A only as needed, so there is no toxicity risk. It is a zoo- and vet-trusted staple. Dust it on food a couple of times a week, separately from your calcium days, and you have the supplement side of a reptile's diet covered.
