Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have found them last thursday. Began treating immediately.

I have been soaking my snakes on an every three day bases and spraying them with Reptile Relief before each soak. So far only two have been loaded. First soaking yielded only a few from each snake in my collection, minus the two. Soaking from today yielded less then before. I have been soaking each snake for about an hour or so.

As for cage treatment, all are cleaned with dish soap and hot water. Then sprayed with Prevent A Mite, dried then bedded with paper and a quick spray down the center of each bin. Once dry snake is placed back in. Each rack was taken on and hose down, dried then spayed with Prevent A Mite, and well vented.

Does this seem like a good treatment regiment for ridding of the mites?

Spray the rest of the room. Spray around the racks on the outside a little. You can use Nix, especially on the outside of the cages, floor etc.

a buddy of mine told me about permectrin II you can spray it right on your snakes and pens. you take your water bowls out for 1 hour you use 3cc to 1 quart . a big breeder told him about it.
it works i used it 1 time havent seen any mites since. the breeder takes it to reptile shows and sprays the tables and floors.you can buy it on line at valleyvet .com you can sray your rats or mice if they have mites.
