Got the new Salmon today, Apollo.

Thanks for the tip Daybreaker, but believe me... I've been researching IBD for years. I won't even keep boas and pythons on the same floor. Won't use the same feeding tongs. Different rolls of paper towels. I'm very anal about that, having seen one of my good friends pythons go through it. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen in my all of my snake loving life.

I know this is no secret, I was just trying to be humorous. Hot Shot No Pest Strips...


I buy a few at a time, crack one open and cut it into about one inch squares, put those in squares in the cages. Then I put the remainder on the floor where the snake's room is, and hang another one near the door. I've seen a few mites, that were on Rocky (the first Salmon boa I got from Prehistoric Pets).. and those suckers were fat. I smushed and it was like an explosion went off. These weren't noticed until after he shed, so I went straight to wally world and picked up 4 of these. Have't seen another mite since. Kill em all! (any old metallica fans?) Good luck. amd feel free hit me up any time. I've well experienced. Most forums think since you don't have thousands of posts that you don't know jack. I can assure you, that is not the case here.

you are aware mites lay eggs, correct? eggs aren't typically attracted to adhesive pest strips, which are not anything I'd feel comfortable putting in an enclosure in the first place.
