That's interesting. I'll give it a little more weight in my mind.

But I still would never spray that stuff on a snake I love. Recently I sprayed it on a dog I love, and she hopped in my bed and got it all over, so I started looking at what these chemicals are all about. There's so many ways to deal with mites that are non-toxic, it's just not necessary imo. Did you read the articles I cited? Did you read especially the warning about getting it on the skin? The skin is a huge organ of absorption, you know.

Did you talk to this particular vet about using that stuff topically, and ask him if any research was done on it? That stuff is a known carcinogen. You might find out in 10 years all your snakes have cancer or something. My point is you don't have to see a toxic reaction immediately, to cause harm. Frankly I think even Vapona is better than spraying insecticide right on a snake, and we stopped using it around 20 years ago, and we never put it directly on snakes either.

Just some thoughts, thanks for the info.
