    Lice

    I know people use the nix for head lice but you need to dilute it. Not sure what the proper dilution is.

    Petco should have this https://t.petco.com/shop/en/petcosto...reptile-spray#

    I had mites one and used this which killed them in one treatment.

    You can use this on everything. I even sprayed my carpet around the infested snakes, then vacuumed.

    It is safe to spray on the animals and worked great for me.

    Place the snake on paper towels for now with just hides and a water bowl. You don't want to give the lil buggers a place to hide and they are really seen dead or alive on the white paper towels.

    You may see it listed as Reptile Relief or Reptile Spray, they are the same thing but most recently the label reads Reptile Spray.

    I don't recall anybody using it here.

    Usually it's PAM(provent a mite) and Nix I read about other than Reptile Spray.

    Yes. Reptile spray works wonders.
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    once you get everything cleaned up and sprayed down he should start to feel better.
