Snakes fed on fish such as garter snakes can develop a deficiency of vitamin B1. Tortoises may develop steatitis but will often accept vitamins in the water when they avoid vitamins on food (preferring to eat the plants in the garden). BSP stands for Broad Spectrum.
BSP vitamin drops are liquid multivitamins (A, D3, E, C & Group B vitamins) ideal for routine use in the drinking water for cage birds, small mammals and reptiles, enabling effective supplementation for difficult individuals and smaller species. BSP contains no sugar which could encourage bacterial growth in the water. These are high potency vitamin drops so that only a small amount is needed.
Many reptiles benefit from vitamins in the water. Snakes fed on fish such as garter snakes can develop a deficiency of vitamin B1. Alligators and crocodiles can also do this but they are easier to supplement with ARKVITS etc).
Because the actual food items of garter snakes and other very small species are small and are often fed by placing them in a water bowl, powdered supplements are not very successful. Tortoises may develop steatitis but will often accept vitamins in the water when they avoid vitamins on food (preferring to eat the plants in the garden). Lettuce is low in carotene and vitamin A and is a staple item for most tortoises, BSP gives an alternative way of providing this vitamin.
