    Question mites

    Sorry if this is in tthe wrong section new to the fforum


    Anyways I've had reptiles for a few years now not a breeder or anything like that just like them and take in unwanted, abandoned, or abused ones well I just got an 8ft Burmese. While in quarantine I noticed it had mites found maybe 6 or so crawling some how I've been lucky enough to never encounter them before


    What I'm looking for is how to rid of them the burm. Is on a different floor of the house away from the reptile room by itself I have him on paper as substrate that I change every 8-12 hours I soak him in the tub once day if he allows it also have a spray from the pet store that can be applied to tthe snake and the enclosure plus prevent a mite for the ttank only is there anything else iI can do to get rid of the mites more effectivly and how long after I get them all should I wait before introducing him to our reptile room? I've read slot online but many write ups contridict the other so I figured I'd ask and get some first hand answers thanks

    PAM will work wonders. Retreat the cage in a couple weeks and make sure the mites are compleatly gone before introducing him.
