Just Some Pictures

Honestly I WOULD NEVER USE Pam or any house hold things due to clogging there scales or skin..

I am going to be talking to jurassic park about treatment that I can do at home, but with buying something that works like I seen Snakebytes tv use something that kills the mites in there bedding and while they slitther around helps kills the ones on them.

There it is in the picture too the Proto mite I think its called

The PAM that was referred isn't the cooking spray, it's provent-a-mite, which is a treatment spray designed for reptiles. It's safe if you use it according to directions. Alternatively, I believe petco/petsmart have mite treatments as well. Just make sure you read the directions carefully and don't overdo it.

Mites are hard to control with a collection, but you have one snake. Why don't you treat it before rushing out and getting another one

So you get a snake with broken ribs, go back to the same store get a snake with mites, get a third snake from this store that also has mites, then take the snake to this store to be treated for said mites? How hard is it to learn a lesson? And you shudder at Petco? You, also, are getting some pretty good advice from experienced people here and completely disregarding it. It's time to open up your mind and rethink things if you want to be successful in this hobby.

Snakes take a lot more time, effort, stress, understanding and energy than most ppl think. My 2 have drained me more than my almost 6 month old golden retriever pup. I understand your family started this by purchasing one as a gift, however, you are the caregiver. It's completely up to you to learn care, maintenance and proper treatment.

Mites are 100% treatable at home. Less stressful to the snake than a trip to an incompetent pet store as well. My suggestion is that you start doing a LOT of reading and slowly build a snake care box. Everything you need to maintain your new no legged friend from PAM to extra bedding, a soaking/ temp tub for cleaning or bad shed due to poor humidity. I keep spare bulbs of various wattages for the inevitable time one burns out or the temps change and I need one stronger. But then, I tend to lean on the side of overkill and preparedness.

Good luck to you and to little Zari.
