Ok so I looked this stuff up and (excuse my frankness) everything I read basically says it is a hoax? That it has no benefits of any kind associated and can cause skin/eye/and nail discolration if taken for a long period of time. I have never heard of its use in reptiles until recently so im trying to get information on this. Granted, some people call Reptaid a bs fake herbal remedy and I know it works so im sure there are people that have first hand accounts of how 'Silver Water' benefits their animals health and/or their health i just want to hear it. So lets go people lol.

There are benefits of flushing the body of impurities, quite a help for those with cancer, so yes, there are benefits, Brian.. Those who use homeopathic means to medicate find the silver a huge asset.

you dilute it. Short term it is a great tool, Bri. Long term is for humans only.

I remember studying it, Colloidal silver was primarily used for conjunctivitis in newborn puppies and kitten as such but never heard of it being used on repitles. I'll research it in my Veterinary medical nursing textbook and get back to you if you like.
