Creating A Reptile First Aid Kit

Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we're doing a requested video all about how to create a first aid kit for your reptile, be it a bearded dragon, leopard gecko, or any reptile you may have!

Added Information: Thanks for the comments, because of those, I just wanted to add - Make sure to use UNFLAVORED pedialyte if you ever have to (I recommend the infant one shown in the video). And you do need a microscope for the fecal float tests. Not sure how I managed to forget that.... it's pretty important.... ????
