    Well, I got the Provent a Mite stuff several days ago, treated all the cages in our back room (completely empty, we were converting it into a herp room), let them air out pretty good for a couple days while I kept all the snakes in totes, plastic shoe or sweater boxes on some paper towels. Gave all the snakes baths before doing so, I can't find any sign of mites or eggs on anyone now but I'll definitely keep the can of this stuff just in case it worked really fast and well. I also did a room-by-room cleaning, sprinkled the lawn powder we use for fleas during the summer everywhere then swept the majority of it up, moved both the tarantula and crickets in my rodent/feeder room and I'll keep them there for a month or so for good measure. Lol, fifteen minutes, I guess I let it air pretty good, it's been two days but oh well...better safe than sorry I guess. But I'm happy and Cynric seems to be in less distress now.

    i give my snakes a bath with warm water and iodine. the mix should look like watery ice tea. make sure your snake is not thirsty before putting it in the iodine bath. my vet said it wont harm the snake as long as it dont drink it. it has work for me before. i also clean the cages with the solution(kinda stained one of my cages)
