    Need help fast!!!!!!!!!

    Ok so I just treated my adult female ball pythons using 5x sprays of insect spray and sprayed her tank with ardap and left it too air out for 3 hours so that I can no longer smell it, put her in and withing minutes she started doing this crazy yawning realigning her jaw thing, I've took her out and put her in a run for the time being but she keeps doing it, wtf is going on?????

    Normal yawning and/or realigning her jaw wouldn't worry me too much, but since you are using the word "crazy"... I'm not sure what to think about that. The dangers I have heard regarding mite treatments are usually more neurological stuff such as looking like they suddenly developed a severe spider-head-wobble type condition, losing track of what direction is up, etc.

    Are you sure the spray you put on the snake is safe to be used directly on the animal?

    What are the active ingredients in that and in the ardap?

    Taking her out of the enclosure and putting her in a different tub for the time being sounds like a good idea.

    I have absolutely no experience with that particular spray...

    and pictures of what the snakes are doing would help...that was more of what i meant when I made the picture comment...did you wash out the tanks before you put the snakes back in?


    is the mite treatment reptile/pet/snake approved for use??

    Don't need to wash the tanks after the spray as it leaves a residue that keeps working for 6 weeks and I got the tank spray from my exotics shop where I buy my snakes and they use it on their tanks

    The spray I used on the snakes the insect spray with the green instructions says to avoid eyes mouth nose and vent, if they got it on their mouth or nose could that be causing the yawning realigning thing?
