I have been wondering

xblackheart Apr 18, 2007 09:17 PM

Some of you know that I was fighting mites right before and during early breeding season. Well, now that I have had quite a few clutches of eggs, I am noticing a problem. Half the eggs are duds. With this many clutches, it can't be a coincidence. I think the mite spray is responsible.
Any feedback on this?

well, I used proventamite in the cages, but let them all air out for a couple hours (overnight for some cages), before reintroducing the snakes. I used reptile relief on the snakes, and removed the water bowls for at least a day. I followed all directions. I cleaned off the males, females before introducing them to each other and only resprayed them after. I did not even have to respray all the snakes. I have not srayed the snakes in some time, though. I did not want to do it if they were gravid.
