Gravid and with mites?

[dextermorgan]

Hi,
I have a collection of about 40 ball pythons, some of them currently breeding. The last addition to the collection was in January, and a QT period was done. Just TODAY, I noticed a few mites on one of the ball pythons (not the same one recently added, so it baffles me how they got there as I've never had them ever before!).
I am aware of the different treatments (ie. PAM, Nix), however I'm curious to know if anyone has had any ill effects treating gravid females' enclosures with PAM? The snake that I noticed the mites on is a female who is nearing ovulation, and she is in the same rack as other females who have either already ovulated or should be ovulating soon. I assume that the other snakes probably have mites now too, though I did not visually see any yet. I don't want to risk detrimental effects to the clutches - does anyone have any experience with mite treatment and females that are gravid?
I appreciate the help.

I have no experience but I say go for it with preventamite you have one vote that it wont affect your mom/clutch. Obviously if shes about to lay I would hold off but if its going to be mokre than a week until they hit the ground I would treat her.

I would treat everyone asap. The problem I see is if you don't treat them soon, the mites could stress the moms, into laying her eggs when and where she should not. With a bad cases of mites the mom could lay her eggs in the water while she is soaking, or lay them all over the cage.

I would treat everyone because even if you don't see them I'm sure the other cages around here has them.
