URS ultimate calcium any good for pythons ?

[pyrodarknessanny]

well went to get some calcium suplement to use for my diamond python with the jaw fracture, as the vet advised that she be fed smaller food items than what i would normaly give to her so that she dosent over strech the jaw at this point in time,

i spoke to him about suplements as well, and she is getting some vetafarm herpa boost injected into the rats, as well as getting some extra calicum,

i was realy hopeing to find a luquid suplemt but the only pet store in town that has reptile gear only has the URS powdered stuff, i got some anyways but the lable only gives directions for usage with lizards not snakes.

i am thinking i will mix it in with the herpa boost dose, but has any one used the URS powdered supliments on pythons before?

never used powdered calcium as the bones in thier prey usually provide ample calcium for them.

I agree with Lynfrog, your snake should get enough calcium from the bones in its food of whole rodents, with out resorting to calcium supplements. I also agree with your vet that you should feed it smaller rodents, to lessen the stretching of its jaws untill the fracture is healed.
