How do I treat snake mites without harming my T's?
I recently bought a baby BP from my local pet store (nver again). Surprise, surprise...He has mites. He's not infested, I only found one adult so far, but I want to hit it hard and fast so it doesn't become a problem. Here's the catch: my husband owns several tarantulas and they are kept in the same room. Relocation isn't really an option because we have a small home with kids.
So here is my question: Is there an effective way to treat my snake for mites without risking harm to our T's?

I use a one two of punch of Nix for the enclosure and outside the enclosure and reptile relief for directly spraying on the animals.

Use Reptile Spray. That should be safe as it really doesn't fill the room with fumes and you can use directly on the snakes. Just read directions.

I keep him in a tank. I've already switched him over to paper towels. I've heard that Provent a Mite is, hands down, the best solution. But I've also heard that treated tanks in the same room as T's causes death. lol
I knew that buying from pet stores was a bad idea. All other BP's I've owned have come from breeders. Petco was running a 50% off deal on reptiles and I couldn't resist. Sigh, guess I'll be spending the rest of that 50% on treatment.
Thanks for your feedback!
