I think my burmese just died in its hands

Also, they are discussed on VPI's webpage I believe... Or am I thinking of their book?

Either way, that's where I learned about them.

Hi,

Yes this is the product they are talking about.

And they are briefly discussed in this post on reptileforums.co.uk.

And here are some more links with information about them;

link1.

Link 2.

Link 3.

There certainly seem to be people who find them very effective - and, as long as you were ok with the idea of even more li'l bugs running around the place for a time, they might be an ideal solution for those of you with sensitive animals.

It should be pointed out it's a one or the other deal with these methods before someone complains they bought both and PAM killed the good mites as well.

I havent found anyone who has used them with tarantulas yet but they could be ideal in that situation.

**edit**

Tarantulas are mentioned at the bottom of this page so should be all right.

Thanks for that precious info, Dr Del
Looks like I have some reading to do.

You guys should be careful w/ the PAM references before someone sprays their snake down w/ cooking spray. Someone did just mention olive oil.

I'll be watching for the new thread...



Glad little dude came back to the light.

You know...I was thinking about that the entire time I have been reading this thread. Pictured someone posting "well guys, I just got back from Jewel with some Pam. Sprayed down the snake, and now he doesnt stick to the pan, I guess. You guys sure this stuff works??" I know I know, I suck at jokes lol.

I'm shocked he came to.

That did happen with one of my feeders though. It was so strange. My girl constricted it...for a long while...searched around after letting go, and it started moving...

The only time I've had a mite problem was about 13 years ago, my 2 BCI's were infested. My vet recommended mineral oil on the snake, bleach solution on the tank. It worked just fine. I'll skip the poison, thanks!

By any chance did he turn one yesterday??
