i recently purchased some new snakes and while handeling one i found 1 mite i have run out of proventamite and i was wondering if nix was a effective tool against mites i know i read on this forum before about its ussage and was wondering if someone could help me out on the mixing of the nix to make it safe for boas
thanks

Although some have been known to use it,I wouldnt.
Far safer products/methods IMO
Try useing the "search" option here on KS,it actually works.

Go to Walmart and pick up a bottle of NIX. It's actually for human lice but works great with mites! It costs about $11. Mix this with 1 gallon of water. Pour into a spray bottle and spray Everything (The Animal The Cage *EVERYTHING*). You may want to put her in some nice fresh water to soak a bit first. This way if she is thirsty she can drink the water rather then the NIX. This will also kill off some of the mites! I got this recipe from Ben Siegal himself. I've used it once (the only time I've actually had mites) and will always use it if the time comes up again (which I hope it doesn't!). Good luck! *Mites are easy to get rid of*
