Good day all,

I recently received a female lesser pinstripe yearling by air mail from British Columbia, which I intend to use for breeding to my male pastel banana in the fall. I recently found some mites - 3 or 4 in her eye sockets and two in her heat pits. My local reptile store recommended using the Nix solution that I have also found on numerous forums on the web: 1 4oz bottle of Nix mixed with 4 Liters of water; spray down all items and body back of the snake; q-tip of solution over eyes and pits. Water bowls were removed and will go back 24 hours later. The substrate was thrown out and they all now have paper towel. I've been told, and found through research, that this is a ten day process - treat everything again every 3 days. 10 days and the problem should be gone.

Has anyone else tried this method? Thoughts? Feedback?
