    Mite Control
    Today I noticed a mite for the first time. After some research(several threads) I've just ordered a can of Provent-A-Mite. I watched a "how-to use" video from LLLReptile. Should I bother going out to buy Reptile Relief Spray at PetCo before the PAM arrives? Or just do a daily soak until it gets here? Any additional tips are appreciated. My snakes are on cypress/coconut right now and I plan on switching to paper towels after tomorrow(feeding day) at least until this problem is resolved.

    Personal opinion, reptile relief is a waste of money and does nothing that providing them with a large enough water bowl to soak in won't do.
    They both drown the mites, one cost money, the other doesn't.

    Did the blood get them too?

    I think its two bps in same tank, with a divider.

    As for mites- Provent-A-Mite. Follow directions to a tee. Hopefully you have everybody properly qt'd.
