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!
I swear i would think most of you guys on this forum have stock in provent a mite or something, the way you guys swear by it...it really doesn't work all that great. yes it probably is the best thing on the market right now that is made specifically for treating snake mites but thats not saying much....black knight was a great product but thanks to pam and pam's lawyers its no longer available in california or most other states.
