I have thought about that .. I did treat my collection with no pest strips ... The mites are gone ... Im not sure where they initially came from , but they are gone ...



The snake that had been exposed with ill effects before is still alive ... drinking but not eating ... It was a 4 month old green burmese python. This new snake with the problem is another Green Burmese Python. Keep in mind that i keep numerous species. Boas, Burms, Retics, Monitors, Tegus, Colubrids etc ... no other animals have had any ill effects.. Just these 2 green Burmese Pythons. I am feeling as though these snakes genetically may have a sensitivity to Dichlorvos( No Pest Strip )



I dont understand why no other animal in my collection would be left unnafected. Dichlorvos is an Organophosphate. I am currently trying to find a reversal or antidote for this.

This may not even be what is wrong with this snake. My "reptile " Vet said today that he would xray her to determine whether she is eggbound. That is about the extent of His Reptile Medicine. That and treating respiratory infections.



Thanks for your advice
