I think We have mites...... HELP!

Heather Oct 16, 2003 07:52 AM

I noticed this morning that Smirnoff had little red spots around his ears.... So I rubbed one and it smeared. I looked at another and it moved! I have no idea where He got them..... I keep his house Spotless and I bathe Him regularly! I have put nothing from outside into His house or anything! I'm very upset and have no idea where they came from! How do I get rid of them???? What do I need to do??? HELP!

See if you can get your hands on some Reptile Relief made by Natural Chemistry. Jiffy swears this works great on mites... I havent had to use it yet. You spray it directly on the iguana.
