I don't know if it was this forum or the boa forum but someone uses sevin dust to control mites/ticks. If you use this, can you tell me how you use it and how much.. TIA

And also,i would like to add my 2 cents on Reptile Relief. I've used it twice already and still see mites. I clean her cage, soak her toys (limb, water dish, etc..) in hot water and then put them in the oven for awhile and then use reptile relief on her. I soak her. I've done just about everything i know how to but i still see mites. I've heard Sevin Dust can be affective but i'm not sure on how to use it. TIA

Ooops, one more thing, her eyes are clouded over so she should be withing a week of shedding. Is it safe to use Sevin dust during this time or does it matter?

I just used Sevin dust.5 last night on my 6 foot burm and my 1 foot Boa.The directions say it's safe for dogs and cats So I guess it's alright for snakes ,they seem fine today.All I did was rub the dust into their scales and I sprinkled some under their news paper, after I returned them to their tanks I misted them with water it seemed to make the dust stick a little better when it dried.Hope this helps.
