Never tried it, but I've heard of it doing wonders with other reptiles. My Vet recommended it when my Colombian was having issues and going down hill. She wanted to use that, Repta Aid and Pedialyte but we went with just the other 2. Since it promotes bacteria growth it may have been the last thing she needed in her condition.

It's not a dairy product in itself but the cultures are grown in milk products. Since it's a reptile formula I would think and or hope they use something that doesn't have milk in it to grow it. Reptiles can't digest milk or maybe a lot of milk but they have to be able to process it to some degree. I'm sure in the wild they sometimes catch lactating mice, rats, rabbits, gerbils or something.

So with that in mind if I used it, it would be in moderation. Not for just the dairy reasons alone but also because of overgrowth of bacteria. Good bacteria or bad too much of it,.. is just bad.
