Mites...Mites.... EVERYWHERE!!

Snake mites are not the same as Lice and their eggs/larva. Nothing kills mite eggs.

Its not a argument over if it does or doesnt due to someone saying it did for them. It just doesnt happen at all.

Could anyone tell me is there a expiration date on the container of "Provent A Mite" or what is the shelf life of the product? I'd like to buy some just in-case I run into this problem, I'll have some available.

Wanted to add, theres a reason why you have to keep doing treatments every 2-3 weeks as the EGGS will hatch again and you will have more mites.

Re-treating later on will help kill the newly hatched mites before being allowed to mature and lay more EGGS

There is no expiration date on it.

Well how do you know this? I read on site to do with the active ingredient in the nix product that it does, this is what it says,
How long does this medicine take to work?
• Permethrin cream will kill the mites and their eggs within 8-14 hours.
• Permethrin cream rinse and lotion will kill lice and their eggs within 10 minutes
So there ya go!

Forgot its on the internet so it must be true, My bad

Well I guess we won't know then unless we do an experiment. I don't currently have any eggs to test out the theory, I think because they are all Dead! LOL!
Do you own a store or something? You seem pretty worked up that some people use Nix instead of reptile products!

[RichsBallPythons]

No i dont own a store. Just i dont like when something that has not been tested/known to be safe for reptiles to be given out as a remedy to fix a serious problem.

I use what works, when the problem arises. Treat once, then retreat in 3-4 weeks to get the remainder. Done..

IMO you really need to have a sit Dow with the wife and have a good talk about respect for each others passions. A marriage is not going to last without that mutual respect. If you love animals and want to have a pet, your wife should try to respect that. Asking you to leave over the animal is not only totally disrespectful it is downright immature. Just some food for thought.

I wasn't gonna go there, buuuut since you did. Here's my two cents worth. You hit the nail on the head. A lil communication goes a loooong way. If it's not an animal what's it gonna be later on? Communication is the key and respect for each other. Good luck in the future

Probably wasn't my place, but sometimes people need to reflect on a relationship in order for it to be successful. I have never been a person to beat around the bush when I see a strong underlying problem. If I can help, ill do my best whether well accepted or not . I always try to remain respectful though
