AMBER NATURALZ Reptaid XL Herbal Supplement for Large Reptiles | Herbal Pet Supplement for Immune Support | for Reptiles Above 250g | 1 Fluid Ounce Glass Bottle | Manufactured in The USA

Before I start my review I would like to state that I am not a professional, nor do I claim to be. I am simply an animal lover that wants the best for my pets! I ALWAYS recommend going to a reputable exotic vet, or at the very least an experienced breeder when your reptile is having health issues. Unfortunately, I know of no breeders in my area, and the only exotic vet in my town is AWFUL, and actually made my leo's illness worse several years back due to the poor handling and stress. That being said, I think this product is fabulous for mild illness, especially if you don't have access to a good vet or breeder like I do. I live in a humid area that is also cold in the spring, which sadly makes my poor leo prone to mild respiratory problems this time of year. She's still active and not loosing weight, but hasn't eaten for two months (even silkies, her favorite!) which just unsettles me. I've tried the Zilla appetite stimulant/supplement, which she flat out refused. I also tried making a homemade mix of mashed insects and baby food, but she inevitably got some in her nostrils wiping her nose around, which I think just made it worse; even on a good day she'd never eat enough to really supplement a meal. I was skeptical of this all natural voodoo stuff, but I've always heard good things so figured I'd give it a shot. We're on day 3 of ten, but so far so good! She ate a silkie tonight, and generally seems more bright eyed. I will update in a week to let you know if we have further success! If you've never given meds to a leo, for me the easiest way is to angle the syringe with the tip pointing up in front of your gecko's snout. -Very- lightly press, pushing out the liquid one drop at a time. If you press too hard, which really isn't very hard at all, it will all come out at once and be wasted! If you have a larger reptile, like a beardie, you can probably stick the syringe tip in their mouth and give the full dose in one go, but I've never had that work on my gecko, she's too quick! Leos will generally lick up the bead as it touches their snout, so it's still fairly simple. I have a fairly large female that weighs 66 g, and I stick with the .05 ml application. The other great thing about this stuff is that the dosage is so small, it's quick and easy and doesn't put undue stress on your animal. Last time my leo was sick, I had to give her .5 ml antibiotics (10 times as much) for 10 days; it could easily take 30 minutes to an hour on a bad day, and just stressed her out so much. She doesn't object to this at all, takes probably a minute or two max! Always wash your syringe after use. I'd recommend a fresh one for the next time you use it, and obviously separate syringes if you have multiple reptiles that need it. I hope your pet will soon be on its way to good health! Update 06/1/14 My gecko finished the first 10 days of treatment; it's now been several additional days, and she's been consistently eating every other day like she used to! She's definitely much perkier and bright eyes as well, and I no longer here the slight 'click' when she breaths that indicates an RI. I decided not to continue the treatment (directions recommend 10 days on, 2 off, then another 10 days) because it seemed unnecessary! I'm happy I found this product, and would highly recommend it under the conditions I listed in my original review!

First off my leopard gecko hates this stuff... but it did help save her life and we had a hell of a time getting it in her but it did its job with repeated use it brought her back from the brink of death... My little lady Leo Wendy hates the stuff, she really really does not like taking it... with that said I do think this with a couple other things saved her life... Our adult female leopard gecko Wendy had a bad shed, and in trying to get the stuck shed skin off her tail she chewed a big gash in it, that quickly got infected, one morning after that I found her almost near death, she had just laid down to let herself die in her cold moist hide and she was as cold as ice and was almost dead, I ordered this and a box of repta-boost and some other stuff with overnight shipping, and started doing anything I could to help her, but she was so sick and the tail infection was so bad she just wanted to let go and die, once I started with reptaid and soaking her tail in medicated warm water and then using Neosporin on the wounded tail, and other stuff to first of all help her system fight the infection and then a high protein and high fat diet change to build strength and put on weight, we needed the repta-boost to get any nutrition into her and try to spur her to eat, and within a few days she started showing signs of improvement, she lost about a half of an inch off the end of her tail which mostly grew back when it healed, but after using reptaid and repta-boost with the other stuff she's doing very well, it's over a year now and she's doing very well and is healthy and happy, I still give her this stuff every few weeks to every couple months just to help her stay healthy and keep parasites to a minimum in her system and it seems to work pretty good, but she does hate it and fights me the whole time while trying to get her to take it, I have to load over a dose into the syringe because she spits it out and shakes her head hard to get it off her mouth so she doesn't have to take it but enough remains and she has to lick it off one way or another, she will also try to rub it off her mouth onto the paper towel or my hand to try and keep from licking it off her mouth, so she doesn't like it, but it did help save her so we try to get her to take it still, I need a new bottle because it is old now, but this stuff helped save our Wendy girl and she was able recover from almost death, I'll keep it on hand always if I can, and use it for our crested gecko too, we now have a new baby girl hatchling leopard gecko so she will be getting on a dose every now and then too... If you have a sick gecko (I can't speak for other types of reptiles because I don't own any other besides the two Leo's and a crested gecko) but it did help save our Wendy who we truly love and adore and it was heartbreaking to see her just lay down and stop fighting the illness and pain to die, and I did everything I could to save her and would do it again

Saved my boyfriends snake...good stuff. Just wish it was glycerin based instead of alcohol based but it has some good healing herbs in this tincture.

It seems Reptaid XL works. My snake came down with what appears to me to be a moderate to severe respiratory infection last month and was not breathing well and very lethargic. I couldn't find this locally so ordered from Amazon. In the meantime, we gave our snake respiratory treatment/mists of vaporub & eucalyptus oil mixed with hot water like suggested on the internet (2X/day for about 5 days until our snake was breathing much better), then when this Reptaid XL finally arrived in the mail, we discontinued the respiratory treatment as he was breathing much better and just fed him this by mouth with the enclosed syringe once daily for 10 days. We saw our snake slowly improving day by day and few days after the completion of the Reptaid treatment, our snake ate a small feeding enthusiastically. Not sure if it would have worked better if I fed my snake the Reptaid along with giving the respiratory treatment, or would that be too physically stressful for the snake to be fed by syringe initially when he's the most sick? Can't be sure what role Reptaid played in the healing of my snake but my snake is well now, definitely should try this if you have a sick reptile.

My turtle was sick and could not open her eyes! This made her open them again in so happy for that 🥺💗

Bought a baby bearded dragon (? 9 weeks old). He started tanking fast, despite great set-up with UVB, heat, etc.; it was over a holiday weekend, and he appeared almost dead when this bottle arrived on our doorstep. The vet appointment was still days away. Considered an emergency vet, but after giving him a couple of drops of this, he started perking up. His appetite partially returned (vet said he was ok, but gave us rescue food, which he hasn't needed...as long as we keep giving him these drops...he's fine.) I've read several reviews of how effective this stuff was- it's now pretty much part of his daily routine. We have seen his appetite steadily increase, his color come back and his energy increase. When we stop the drops, the lethargy returns....although not as much now as before. We will eventually ween him off of them, but they are nursing him through whatever is ailing him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! UPDATE: We rarely use this- only when he seems to have decreased appetite, or any gunk on his mouth- this CLEARS IT RIGHT UP! He's been doing wonderfully- I rely on this stuff- it does seem to increase his immune system. Now we only have to use it occasionally for a pick-me-up.

So, I bought this for my 20 year old leopard gecko because she was very sick, and it seemed to have helped. She was able to eat and use the bathroom correctly after using this, but she passed away about a week and a half after. I think she just passed because it was just her time to go, and I don’t believe it had to do with this product, but I felt it was important to include. This did help sooth her pain though, and definitely helped within a day

I said I wasn’t gonna write a review but because he’s doing so well I thought I’d help someone out if their on the fence to buying this. Kobe, my chameleon, started getting ill. I’m not sure if he got an eye infection or what. He wouldn’t open his left eye, he’d sleep all day, he wasn’t eating hardly anything. He lost some color. I started to panic. He was loosing weight and I couldn’t see him go out like this. So I actually got him some electrolytes along with this stuff. To be honest the electrolytes helped but once I gave him this it was immediate! The difference made me cry. Within a day he had his eyes open more. Within 2-3 days he was walking up and down his enclosure. Seemed like he had way more energy and was feeling so much better. Now Kobe is colorful, gaining weight, eating A LOT and kinda playful. This is magic in a bottle for my Kobs….so happy with the results and I’ll continue to give this to him once a month for health maintenance
