anyone ver use De Flea Reptile Relief to get rid of mites? it's made by Natural Chemistry.
Does not work it will treat the mites not the lice and you will end up with a re-infestation in no time. The product that works is Provent-A-Mite it is safe, FDA approved for the use with reptiles. You can buy it from here http://entirelypets.stores.yahoo.net/proventamite.html
There have been so many questions regarding mites and the treatment of them lately (mine included, lol) . . . I wonder if it might be of some benefit to make a sticky about it?
We do have it mentioned in the Ball Python FAQ in this section.
10. What do snake mites look like? How do I get rid of them?
Snake mites are small black or reddish dots that you may see crawling around your python's skin. Look especially around the eyes, the groove in the snake's skin, and around the vent area. The very best way to get rid of mites is with Provent-a-Mite which can be ordered online or bought at some reptile specialty shops. Discard all wood or exceptionally pourous cage decorations and use newspaper or paper towels as substrate until the mites are gone. Soaking your snake, or products like Reptile Relief will help get rid of the visible mites, but Provent-a-Mite will kill the eggs you can’t see.
Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand
