    Ahem. The OP lives in NY. This product is not available for sale in NY, even though it is made in NY. It sucks, I know.

    I suggest you get BLACK KNIGHT. You can see if they will ship Provent-A-Mite to you, but I highly doubt it.

    Good luck. Soak everything!

    Re: i have mites

    The Healthy Habitat stuff Rich at Reptile Basics sells is OK to use as well.

    Not ANYWHERE near as effective as PAM but will get the job done with repeated usage.

    BKII, never used it, haven't heard much good stuff about it.

    You can use the old school Listerine the yellowish colored one. If there are mites in the teeth you can dip a Q-tip in it and brush it's teeth with it.

    I would think they'd prefer Crest

    Re: i have mites

    Make sure you find out where these mites are coming from. Do you have more than one snake? Did you just recently get this snake or have you had it for awhile?

    Good Luck!
