Yea it's safe for leos but it kills mice. NO ITS NOT SAFE FOR LEOS. IT's NOT SAFE FOR ANYTHING. IT COULD PROLLY KILL A HUMAN WITH ENOUGH OF IT. Why what happened with prevent a mice and your leo?

You can't use Provent a mite with anything that eats insects. it kills the insects.

Um...dude. I haven't used it on my geckos....I was asking about prevent a mite because I know that at least one of my snakes has mites and I was asking in case I found some on my geckos.....

As for the killing mice thing...I don't know where you got that....um yeah. I think you might have misread the post or something...I dunno.....

Sorry if I ticked you off or anything....

I wouldn't use it because I'm weary about spraying unnecessary chemicals. Just quarantine the snake, wash your hands and don't share contact with anything the snake has touched with the leos, including clothing.

Get your leos tested for mites BEFORE you try to treat them for it.

Dude, My bad I misread the post, thought it said prevent a mice. My bad LOL sorry. But I don't know about prevent a mite, I know nothing about snakes, only about leos.
