Hi guys,
Been looking at getting some Betadine for my Iggy so asked the missus as she works in a pharmacy - Betadine has now been discontinued.
Its been replaced with Videne.
Videne - the straight swap for Betadine

heya, could you inform me of what its used for exactly.. i dont currently own a rep just yet (should be picking up in a couple of weeks) so im looking for all equipment and accesories that will be best for my soon to be chuckwalla... ure info would be great.. thanx!!

its used for cuts and bites on your lizard to help heal them and stop infection.

it can be used as a general wash for sterilising etc. its best diluted 1 part betadine to 10 parts water. its VERY potent stuff and stings like hell if its used neat. used neat it can cause shell rot in torts and turts so VERY potent! but a great addition to the first aid kit.

hmm.. sounds like some good stuff to have around.. just not lying around lol .. so you get it from where?? and do you have to buy those hugeeee bottles full

You get it in your local chemist/pharmacy.

my local pharmacist makes it up intoa little glass bottle with a pippette. so its already the right strentgh and ready to go. only costs £1 a bottle, or the neat paint is about £4 for a little nailvarnish bottle of the neat stuff which you dilute yourself.
