Mites?

EEK!

Luci is getting ready to shed and I noticed today while she was soaking a few little black dots on her. One was moving around on her but I got it and smooched it.

Are they mites? If so what is a good spray to use to free her from them?

Provent -a- Mite

-adam

If you already found a moving one that is most likely another going under the scale.

Provent-A-Mite for teh w1n! Follow the directions on the can - it's a lot of text but important that you read through all of it.

Looks like you already have her on a light colored substrate to keep em visible (and leuci surely helps!) - how about the other snakes? Have you got her quarantined?


(EDIT: soooooo beaten)

Where can I get this stuff at?

All three of them share the same container I feed them in.... So I guess I should get everyone. Just to be on the safeside, right?

I read that as 'they are housed seperately but when fed in a seprate enclosure they take turns in the same one(?)' correct me if I am wrong.



Yep defintely get all three - they are much much harder to spot on BP's (any darker snake for that matter)


Not sure on shipping aerosols - we have it available at a local store (for the routine 800% markup hehe)

FROOGLE SEARCH FOR PROVENT-A-MITE

:headbang:

PAM PAM PAM...and yup, get all three plus the feeding enclosure...and yah, be extra careful to follow the directions. It's powerful stuff. =)

Correct.


I'll have to find a local store here in MD since I don't have a credit card so I can't order it off the internet. =/

Which bit of Maryland?

We've quie a few folks here from those parts who might be able to steer you in the right direction.
