Mite Killers

[rabernet]

Looks like I'll be picking up some PAM After just two weeks in my care, I woke up this morning to find my bp soaking and a mite attached to the rim of his eye socket. Now, I've seen on here that it says reptile relief can be applied directly to the snake to remove or kill any mites. Is this true? Also if I just get the PAM and treat the enclosure, after I place my bp back in will it kill the mite thats already on him or do I need to treat him directly with RR to get those off? Looking to pick some up tonight to get those little buggers knocked out quick

Reptile Relief can be applied directly to the snake. I hate the stuff, because of the smell. I think it reeks, but that's me. In any case, I've used it on a few severly infested animals I picked up from Craiglist before I brought them into the house. I then also treated their enclosures with PAM and the mite problem was gone.

Yes, if you get the PAM, treat the enclosure and put the snake back in, it will kill the mites that are on him - you do NOT have to treat in conjunction with Reptile Relief.

i found a new one that requires no chemicals.

Hypoaspis miles. it is a specie of mite that eats other mites. they are quite effective. i am culturing them right now for my invert cages.
