Posted by: janome at Wed Mar 17 20:03:36 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by janome ] when my jungle carpet python had mites...I tore apart her entire cage. threw out the substrate and cork bark, I think I got the mites from the cork bark, cleaned the entire tank with bleach/water. Then sprayed down the whole tank with a product called Pre-vent-o mite. While doing all this I was 'soaking' my snake in cooking oil to drown the mites that were on her. Just water will not kill the mites. The oil will get between the scales and drown them. It worked like a charm. I just rinsed her down and picked off the mites I could fine. Also want to isolate your snake if you have others. I put her in a totally seperate room. Then when I got ready to set up her tank again I just used newspaper until her next shed and that I was sure possitive she had no more mites. I don't know if just using bleach/water will kill mite eggs. So far so good with mine! [ Hide Replies ]
