Why Provent-a-Mite???

So....i spoted a little bug sorta crawling around on my Ball pythons chin (under the mouth) while it (dont know the sex of it yet) was feeding.....i was wondering if that could have been just like a bug off of the little mouse, such as a flea, or was it a mite????:confused:


SOOOOO.....everyone says PAM is the way to go...and you have to order it online?

can i just buy some mite stuff from my local Pet store?

any help will do....thanx:salute:

Yup, you sure can. While you're waiting to see if it will work, make sure to buy a can PAM. If the pet store variety doesn't work (it probably won't) then you'll already have PAM :gj:

"stuff from your local store" probably isn't PAM, which may or may not work...PAM just works.

It's like McDonald's French Fries - no one else makes'em like they do.

Why PAM? Because when you follow the instructions on the can, it just works, no harm to your snake, and those little !&*@!^! are dead. =)

Just to clear it up, its prevent a mite. I thought people were spraying pam cooking spray on their snakes at first lol. but i can say that it def does work.

Just to clear THAT up, it's Provent-A-Mite :P

Anyone know what causs them to get mites in the 1st place?

haah nice cass!

If the mite stuff says "keep away from eyes, mouth, etc." then I would highly recommend NOT using it in your snake's enclosure. Snakes have more ways to absorb chemicals than other animals, not to mention they drag their little 'area' on the ground all day. Also, don't ever put mite stuff directly onto your snake. It's just to clean the enclosure. Some snakes love water baths though! :rolleyes:

PAM is the bomb.. Really. :gj:

If you have a local pet store specialized in Reptiles you might find it there, however you will not find it at Petsmart or Petco

You can also order it online http://www.entirelypets.com/proventamite.html
