Ugh...Mites

[Seru1]

Grabbing a can of PAM when I get paid friday, They had been soaking periodically for a few weeks but I never noticed the buggies before when I was cleaning and examining today.

Any tips? I think I have 4 infected tubs.

[waltah!]

If you think you have 4 infected tubs then just assume that all of your tubs are infected. Just be sure to follow the instructions to a T if you haven't use PAM before. I would take care of every reptile enclosure in your house. Good luck

Thanks walt I will.

Have you ever tried the reptile spray on Reptile basics? It looks pretty tempting and much easier.


I never used Pam Before and honestly I have no idea how. Money and time have been hell.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the other spray. Maybe someone that does will chime in.

I have experience wit reptile relief... is a weaker stuff You can use in single case.. directly on reptile or wipe reptile You got from show. For Heavy infestation I suggest use of PAM

Also they keep tipping the waterbowls over!! Should I take them out?

I'm not sure I know the difference. I can't see them in the tub just in the bowl dead occasionally

Don't take the water bowls out, the snakes soaking helps the infestation. You should have heavy ceramic dishes in tubs anyway to prevent them from tipping.

I've used a natural "Reptiles Spray" I found just in one of our local pet shops with pretty good results for a very mild infestation. I applied it to the animal as well as used it to clean the enclosure, took care of the mites pretty quickly.

so overall would you say that the reptile spray from reptile basics does not work nearly as good as PAM? if so does anyone have a suggestion of a site to purchase PAM from?

What is pretty quickly? I'm just curious cause I'm out in the field (marine corps stuff) and my wife is treating my snake now for mites and just wondering a time frame
