Has anyone here had any experience with using Frontline for mites?

Took my first BP to the vet a few months ago, wasn't eating (now is!!!). Found she had mites. He picked off all he could find and then spread her on the table and gave one spray with Frontline. Then he smeared her stomach on the overspray on the table. Also sprayed the bag I brought her in. Worked great! Bought PAM on the way home and took care of her cage and surrounding area. Thankfully, the mites didn't spread to my other snakes!!
This is a reputable reptile vet, Richard Funk, in AZ. I believe he knows what he is about!

Yeah...well that's good to hear. I noticed a single mite (a black snake mite) on my BP...and a few more in his tank. I went to Amazon ( http://www.amazonreptile.com/ ) who is quite a reputable store near me, and they highly recomended the frontline for all of my snakes, simply as a preventative action, even if they didn't show signs of mites. They said they spray every single animal before it comes into the store. The costumers there had nothing but good things to say about it. Apparently a few herp vets out here use it in their practice and for their personal collections.
Just wanted to see if anyone else out there had used or heard of using it for reptiles.
