Ok well I only have 1 snake and plan on only having 1 for awhile.. I will def try that. Did you treat snake when you first treated enclosure or did you wait till like mid way?

OK!! Thank yall so much. He will be fine till the PAM gets here tho huh? I txt the previous owner to see if he had them before cuz he has been doing that since I got him n my other one never did that.

O and after I get rid of the mites how do i keep them away for good?

Yes he will be fine for a few days. You can soak him in the meantime to help drown the mites that are on him.

How to keep them away for good? PAM.

Well I just ordered PAM from the site that annarose15 sent me. Hope it gets here quick I bet it sucks having something eat on you like a flea. I will soak him in some warm water going to take out the logs and all other wood out of his tank and goint to put him on paper towels until I can get rid of the mites

Oh and will I need to treat my house or anything or no cuz they live like a snake and my house is to cold lol

[Freakie_frog]

I will even treat the bags that I use to take snakes to and from snake show's just incase they pick something up at the show. Better safe than sorry..

[S.I.R.]

Until the PAM arrives, I would soak him for 30 minutes in warm water with a drop of Dawn dish detergent. That will get the mites off of him for now. Also, remember when using PAM, spray the container and let completely dry. Once dry, you can add snake. Do not put in a water bowl for at least 2 days as water will eliminate the PAM immediately. After a couple of days you can put in water because the PAM will have had time to set in to the various surfaces of your container. Good luck!

If you ordered it from pro products directly it will take awhile. I just had mites about 2 months ago ordered the PAM and it took 2 weeks..... They took over a week to process my order for just one can. I didnt understand that. Also, due to it being an aresol can it cannot be shipped overnight. It will be ground shipped to you. Just soak your snake or snakes till it gets to you

I treat the snake while the cage is drying. That way I kill the ones that are bugging them and PAM will kill any eggs that got missed in cleaning and kill them after.

Mites can and will travel through the carpet, I would just vacuum and spray some PAM around the cage too when you get it. Mites are a lot easier to get rid of than fleas.

LOL I hope so before we brought my dog inside we had fleas in the house cuz she stayed under our house where all the sand was.. WAS the most horrible process ever lol

[shelby9189]
