Follow the Provent-A-Mite instructions exactly. A lot of ppl here (myself included) use it as a pre-treatment when getting new animals and placing them in quaratine. (Quarentine is a must..esp. if you have an established collection). Mites like to move and can go from room to room, or piggy-back on your clothing, arms, shoes, etc.

Do a search in the husbandry for various mite, and temp, feeding, care threads. Have you read the caresheets here on site? They're very helpful.

If your snake is "in blue" (his eyes are opaque) then in a day or two they'll clear up, and he'll shed a day or so after that. My snakes tend to shed 4-5 days after I notice they're blue. BUT I do have a couple, that I can't tell they're in blue but they're dull looking....or like Oreo, she's burrowed all the time, and I don't know she's shed until I find it in the bedding. :rolleyes:

Daniel also posted a really informative sticky about the shedding cycle and what to watch for, and what to do.

Welcome to the site! :handshake

You should name him "Hades", the greek god of the underworld!

Damn...you're saying I'm not the first to think of this clever name?

I like Telemachus. That kid had guts.

And as for mites, everything I've read as far as PREVENTATIVE maintenance is clean clean clean, and make sure you're not bringing in foreign elements to his cage that might have mites (branches, etc.). If he HAS them, that Provent stuff seems to be what everyone recommends.

That was my understanding from all the books I have. >>

I like Himerus. Mine is named Nova as I like the name, as does my lady and she refused to let me name him Trouser :c
