Cool, Did some research on tylosin, and just like you said, it's an old school drug in reptiles that still works well.

One thing - recommended dosage in reptiles goes anywhere from 5mg/kg up to 25 mg/kg (IM). This is a discrepancy of 500%!! All these sources I'm talking about look legit.

This is just stuff I have found on the net, so I guess you have to use your own experience/judgement.
