Question Im putting together a reptile first aid kit, would anyone be interested?

After reading threads on a few forums I have decided to think about putting together a reptile first aid kit. I was thinking to include, Nutrobal, Avipro, Ace high formula, Critical care formula, Hibiscrub, Iodine, Surgical swabs, 1ml syringes and 2 ml syringes and a container. I wont be using whole tubs as they are between £6.00-£11.00 for 100-150g and I wanted to keep the costs down. Any feedback would be appreciated, I was thinking about 25-50g of powders and 25-50 ml liquids. What amounts would you think best? Is there anything else you think could be added? If the price was right would you buy one? What kind of price would you be willing to pay. I dont want to spend out allot of money purchasing the tubs if people aren't interested.
Many Thanks
Tanya xxxx

Question

Thought I would add, Limestone flour (calcium). Looking at the prices on the net the kit will cost me about £12.00 to make up, I was thinking about selling kits for around £13.50. What do you all think?? obviously I will post, this will be at cost.

Good point I'll get all expiry dates (all will have a long sell by), info, doseage etc printed up and include it in the kit.

If its all labelled correctly its a good idea. I keep burns cream (normal human stuff) and bandages in mine just in case, but then these are for the bosc rather than the smaller of my reps. Remember normal idine needs to be diluted for most reptiles, thats why betadine/tamodine is weaker.

I thought about including Micro pore tape, sofban and co flex but didnt think it would come in need for moset reps and it is quite expensive. I could always put them as an optional extra. I will definatley label with all instructions dilutions etc.
Also thought I should mention 'this kit should be used as an emergency first aid kit only, and does not replace veterinary treatment' (or something along those lines)

I would definitely be interested in a few! You could perhaps do a standard one for use for people with just one or two reps with the smaller amounts, and then do a "big" one for shops, breeders, people with large collections, etc. who might need larger quantities or more specialist stuff.
