Water Conditioners
Water is without doubt one of the most important factors of life! It is essential to provide reptiles and amphibians with the best possible water source. Even our tap water can contain heavy metals and is chemically treated. The addition of chlorine kills harmful bacteria and makes the water fit for human consumption, but it kills also the beneficial bacteria. These bacteria aid in the biological breakdown of organic waste in the water, in the digestion of plant matter when ingested and promote competitive exclusion of harmful bacteria. The range of Exo Terra's water conditioners is specially designed to ensure water safety for reptiles and amphibians.
Nutribal Calcium Supplement
A vitamin/mineral supplement specifically formulated as a high calcium "balancer " for insectivorous reptiles and birds, to assist in correcting the inadequate levels of calcium present in live insectivorous foods such as crickets and mealworms.
The Calcium:Phosphorus ratio is very important in ensuring healthy bone growth, and reproductive function and this potent supplement with a Ca:P ratio of 46:1 is extremely valuable in correcting deficient diets.
It is particularly important for those species fed primarily on insects such as mealworms or locusts, used as a dusting powder. Some species fed mainly lean meat also benefit, as will growing chelonia which need calcium for their shells and the larger lizards and crocodilia for their normal bone development.
