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.

Baltimore

I'm happy to say that the local reptile store around here had PAM :) :) :)
Tomorrow I'll be cleaning tanks and killing those little bugs!

:clap: WONDERFUL!! :gj:

I just discovered tha same deal with my Boa. First thing that came to mind (well, second, other than "oh sh1t") was PAM. Tomorrow will be cleaning day for me too.
