Ivermectin is a strong pesticide and if used incorrectly can be disastrous. It is administered orally in dogs (it can cause side effects or death in some breeds) so I'd assume a vet would treat a snake the same way (or its possibly injected into the snake?).

Why risk it when there is a GREAT and PROVEN product, Prevent-a-Mite, that is 100% effective and safe for snakes. Your right, reptile relief and the zoomed products don't work.

PAM does kill mites on the snakes. Once you treat the bedding as per the instructions, the chemical's presence kills the mites on the snake and in the enclosure. We had a snake in QT that had mites, treated the bedding and a day later...no mites, in the cage OR on the animal.

PAM all the way!
