I am so disappointed to have discovered a few tiny mites on my girl while she was soaking in her water bowl today! I have read that I should spray her down with Reptile Relief, leave it on for 20 minutes, and then have her soak in the tub with warm water. I have tried one time to get her to soak in the bathtub when her skin was dry but she got antsy and kept coming out (she is 5 1/2 feet long, btw). Is there a trick to getting her to stay in?
Also, I am not sure how to clean her enclosure with bleach and ensure that I can rinse all of the bleach out. I live on a higher floor of an apartment building so I don't have access to a hose outside. Would spraying down with a vinegar solution work just as well?
Lastly, I have a couple of wood branches in her enclosure. Is baking at 350 safe to get rid of possible mites in the wood? Is there anything else I am missing?
Thanks so much for any help you can give!
