>>It should work, are you spraying it on her then wiping like the directions say?

>>

>>You can also spray her tank, according to directions and then wipe.

>>

>> I personally until I erradicated these buggers would use paper towels on the bottom of her tank after treating it. And change the towel everyday.

>> It will be easier and help get rid of them , than using the sand and leaving sand in there. Easier to spot them also.

>>

>>Also when they die they are just stuck on them, some fall off. But some you see may be dead. And yes you can see them under scales. The reptile relief should work.

>>

>>The thing I said below in a post was you could use olive oil in the areas you see them , to SMOTHER them.

>>Ans YES you can use cooking oil , same thing.

>>

>> Just oil the heck out of the bugs. The oil will not hurt your lizard. Just make her SLIPPERY, hhehehehhehehe LOL

>>

>>Hope it helps your girl, let us know.

>>Eve / PHEve



Ahh, Yes thanks Eve!! The reptile relief worked, and we gave her a soak in the tub!! LOL what a riot! It was her first time in the water, at first she really freaked out, but then she really seemed to enjoy just relaxing in the water! Sooo cute!



I did notice that some of the little "suckers" came off in the water, but there were still alot stuck on her, so my daughter and I layed out a towel and put her on it, and spent at least an hour or more plucking those nasty bugs off with tweezers!!! Woa, what a job!!! They really cling on there even after they are dead!!! However, we did get most of them...Some of the smaller ones are still on her, but I do plan on giving her another soak today too see if we can get the rest off.



She is such a sweetie lizard, she lets us lay her on her back as we used tweezers to get the ones off her belly! What a sight, jus like a little baby! I swear she knew we were helping her.



The paper towel idea sounds great, I am gonna try that instead of putting her sand back in just yet.



I would however like to know how often I can/should soak her in the tub?? She really seemed to like it once she got used to it.

And it made her little pointy scales look kinda "fluffy", like they were sticking up more than usual after her bath. Almost like they grew. lol



After she was out of the tub, warmed up and dryed off, I was holding her in my hand, looked down, and the top of her nose and both her cheeks had turned this cool greenish blue color!! It was so pretty! What does tht mean do you know? lol

I have never seen her head turn red like they claim agamas do, but she has turned this bluish green color one other time when I had been holding her in my hand for a while... I hope that means she is happy!!!!



Thanks again! This site is great, I am addicted!!
