So this morning when I was checking over my snakes I noticed that they ALL were in the water with just their heads poking out. So I was inspecting there cages and noticed a few different sizes of bugs crawling around (very very tiny ones). They are in a basement so in the summer there is always a few things crawling around. I checked my snakes out and I did find a few bugs crawling on them. The one I noticed the most was my Albino Burmese python. It was easy to see them on him and his color is light and they stand out. What bothered me was that it looked like they have been eating around his eye. His eye was not moist like the others, it looked rather dry around the edges. So I whipped out my JURASSI MITE and cleaned all the cages and sprayed it down and then sprayed all my snakes. All in all there was not many bugs (that i could see) at all. I hope this JURASSI MITE works well because this is the first time I have had a bug problem to speak of. I went though 2 bottles of it because I have 15 snakes and I figured that if I did one I should just do them all.

Anyone else have similar problems as this? or know a better solotuion. The JURASSI MITE is suppose to be non-harmful to the snakes but I hate using any kind of chemicals.

If you don't know what JURASSI MITE is heres a link so you can see what I am talking about:
