If you have a Vet that makes such recommendations I would run from such detrimental advise !!Frontline is a very powerful pesticide which has a history of complications to animals it was designed for.WHY would a DVM subject a fragile herp to such inhumane abuse?Good gaawd man thats just plain wrong!!

>>Never heard of the cooking oil approach, but it sounds interesting. We use frontline. We treat the cage, and the snake, withhold the water bowl for a day or so, and then watch the animal. You have to get the Frontline from a vet and it is pricey, but it is effective. Read the directions and wear gloves. It reeks, so use it in a ventilated area. Our vet approves it.
