Vetark BSP Vitamin Drops 50ml

Vetark BSP Drops are a broad spectrum, high-potency liquid vitamin supplement designed for reptiles that cannot be reliably supplemented through powdered dusting alone. The drops are added to drinking water, making them particularly well-suited to species where food-based supplementation is impractical or ineffective.

Why Water-Based Supplementation Matters

For certain species, getting vitamins onto food simply does not work. Garter snakes and other small aquatic feeders are a clear example — their prey items are often placed directly into a water bowl, making powder supplements unreliable. BSP Drops dissolve into the water supply, ensuring the animal receives consistent vitamin intake regardless of feeding method.

Vitamin B1 and Fish-Eating Species

Reptiles fed predominantly on fish — including garter snakes — are at real risk of vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. Raw fish contains thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys B1, and deficiency can cause serious neurological problems over time. BSP Drops provide a straightforward way to address this risk without changing the animal's diet.

Vitamin E, Steatitis, and Rodent-Fed Snakes

Larger snakes fed on frozen laboratory rodents face a different nutritional risk. These prey items are frequently overweight, and a diet high in saturated fat can lead to vitamin E deficiency and subsequent steatitis — a painful inflammation of fatty tissue. Using BSP Drops between feeds provides a continual source of vitamin E to help prevent this condition from developing.

Tortoises and Vitamin A

Tortoises that graze heavily on lettuce or garden plants may be low in carotene and vitamin A, yet many will actively avoid food that has been dusted with supplements. BSP Drops added to a water dish offer an alternative route for vitamin A delivery that bypasses this reluctance entirely.

BSP Drops are a practical, low-fuss supplement that fills genuine nutritional gaps across a wide range of reptile species. Kept as part of a routine husbandry protocol, they offer keepers a reliable safeguard against deficiencies that powdered supplements alone may not cover.
