I also just got a Red Tailed Colombian Boa through a guy who ordered one in at my work (I work at a pet store) and long story short I'm pretty sure he was afraid of it and I got it for free!

But now that monty has such terrible mites I'm not only heartbroken knowing she could very well die but also because my beautiful new boa may get them too!!!

Nowhere around here sells provent-a-mite so what can I do... Are there any other products I should look out for? I'm going to every pet store around to see what they have...

ANYTHING helps!
PLEASE I don't want to lose her I love her so much and I feel terrible because I thought I was doing so well (she was neglected before I got her) I was told she was a boy and then got her home and she wouldn't eat because she had retained eye caps from god knows when she had shed last and I did what I could and I don't think she was the right size either but I got her to eat, she eats any color frozen thawed and is very hand tame. I once had her around my neck in the car for an hour and she didn't mind at all

anyway... please help...

when you get it treat every cage as on the bottle.
while your waiting..
you could try to rinse some of the mites off, you could give it a bath to help get rid of some of the adult mites (wont do anything to the eggs) the bath water should be deeper than half the side of the snake
