    Arrrrrr Fleas

    I want down stars to my garage to feed the rats and fill up the water. I felt somthing on my leg and it was a flea. I all ready fed one of my snakes a hopper from there wich probly had fleas on it. I know snakes dont carry fleas could it affect my snake in any way. Also I am putting the rats outside and bombing the room. What could i use on the rats and mice to get rid of this could i use frontline small dog on the rats.

    try spraying a line of prove a mite inthe cage ( with out the rat in there) it the same chemical they use in flea sprays. I place the rats in another container empty the tank and then spray down then set up like normal once it dry. as far as I know not issue with snakes and fleas. I spray the room once every other month to kill any possible fleas and anythign else crawling around in th room that not snake /rodent.

    Question, do snakes get tape worm??? If so, you may want to get a fecal test done. Fleas like to eat tapeworm eggs, this is my so many pets with fleas will get tapeworm (from grooming themselves and ingesting fleas).
