reptaid od?
although dosages of any kind should always be triple checked, thats actually a fairly understandable mistake. when i bought my reptaid, the labeling was quite poor, in that, the text on the bottle label was so small, and the decimals on the label dosing instructions, were so small, that it was barely discernable to see even with a magnifying glass, and after it had and been sitting in the fridge for a couple of mths, the decimals werent visible at all, and the accompanying literature looked like it came from a desk printer with very fuzzy text and little black flecks all over the page, some of figures looked like they had decimals, others didnt, so i triple checked before dosing. all that being said, i think that reptaid is a viable product, but they should give clearer, more readable dosing instructions. reptaid may be herbal in nature but, od'ing with reptaid can kill, i think it is more of a danger with smaller chams that already have issues. since chams are delicately balanced in their nutritional needs, any form of oversupplementation or medication is a concern. whats done is done, but i would make some changes accordingly. an ailing cham should still have basking available, but i would reduce its available basking temp several degrees (to slow metabolism) by putting the basking light farther away for the time being. jmo, i would discontinue any and all supplementation for a week or two to see how this plays out, and give him a chance to flush his system, and as others have mentioned, i would make sure he has dripping water and wet foliage during most of the daylight hrs and encourage drinking if possible. i dont know what kind of cham you have, but i think it would be good if you could get him to eat some kale or cham friendly greens. you did not say how you administered the reptaid ? hopefully you did not mean by direct injection? jmo
