    I found out i have mites. I have 2 snakes. How should i deal with this? I hear of prevent a mite. Also ive read about using ivermectin i have a bottle of ivermectin that i use to prevent heartworms on my dog. Its the kind for cattle. Can i use this? I hear 1cc to 1 quart water? Anyone else have ways they deal with this?

    Provent a mite ... I've seen people that don't know what they're doing with homemade mixtures kill snakes ... unless you have a good amount of experience, provent -a- mite is probably going to be the safest thing.

    I would not recommend the use a homemade brew either, as the main ingredients are often products that have not been tested for use with reptiles and that could cause nervous disorders and/or death.

    This is where I buy Provent-A-Mite http://entirelypets.stores.yahoo.net/proventamite.html

    Also you can check pet store specialized in reptiles they might have it.
