Hey Guys,
I have been treating mites in my collection. I have already applied the second treatment to the ASPEN substrate and have them on it now. Most of them have stopped showing signs of mites (no more soaking the water dish) - although I haven't taken them out to closely inspect them as the snakes in the other room are still mite free for the time being, and I don't want to risk additional exposure.
A lot of people here on BP.net have been suggesting that I should have them on paper towel during the treatment.
My questions are as follows;
1. Now that I have applied the second dose of treatment (2days ago) should I move them to paper towel that is treated after the two weeks and give them three doses - or should I move them now onto treated paper towel - or should I leave them on the aspen and hope for the best?
2. If I were to move them to paper towel do I treat the paper towel with PAM or do I treat the bins and than place the paper towel in it. Ergo I can change the towel as needed (which is much more frequent than other substrates)? It says on the can not to treat an enclosure, just the substrate so I feel that paper towel would not be very effective.
Thanks!
Chris.
