Where to get Mite spray???

DinoTheBall Jan 07, 2004 08:14 PM

I just found two mites in my snakes water bowl today when I was changing it and I think thats probably why he hasn't eaten lately. I was wondering where to buy that black knight mite spray at? Thanks

Go to WAL-Mart or any comparable store. Look in the section where they sell lice medication. Find a spray usally refered to as bedding spray and use the same application as provent a mite. The spray runs around 5 to 6 bucks.

Thanks for you help. Also, how do I treat the snake? Do I just spray it through out the cage and on the snake?

Remove the snake and soak it in luke warm water with approximately a drop or two of a mild dishwashing liquid (Dove etc). Remove the water dish and spray the substrate with the spray. Allow the substrate to dry and replace the animal after it has soaked and been dried. Repeat the process in about 20-30 days. DO NOT spray the snake.
