i've had good results. i've also used it in concentrated form to wash cages and also in concentrated form to allow snakes to soak in (only when necessary).

i've always been careful not to overdo it, but i've never had any issues at all. i personally don't like using it as a subcutaneous injection because there are other methods that are safer and harder to mess up.

.5mL of 10% solution to 1 quart of water

and i didn't mean concentrated, i meant diluted, 2 VERY different things

many use it in a 10% solution with good results, this is the same stuff that is used to prevent heart worms in dogs. Randy
