SNAKE MITES UGH

smeese Apr 25, 2005 09:22 AM

I have a collection of about 40 snakes and numerous other reptiles. I recently noticed a mite on two differet snakes, and have used a new admit room for isolating new speecimens. What is the best way to treat this in a large collection. Everything is in hard plastic rack systems. HELP

If it were me I would get some Provent a Mite and treat some newspaper and change all the cages to it. All done.

Haven't we warned you about tampering with the structure of a chaotic system?

One or two treatments per instructions on the can, and your mite worries are over. Great stuff.
