    Mites

    The blood I got a few weeks ago has mites. Her tub and everything in it is now outside and she's going thru my mite killing home remedy. 2" 85 f water and a little canola oil. Its worked both other times I've done it.

    Mites

    Good luck!

    Knock on wood. The only time I have had mites, they came in on a rescue. I did a liquid soap soak daily and a "Natural" mite spray I found at a local pet store.
    Gave her a huge pan to soak in and also washed her tub daily.

    Got rid of them really quick.

    Yep I've had them twice before. I did my method once each time and sprayed the tub and never saw them again.

    I saw one big mite today. First live one I've seen since I bathed her.

    Reptile Spray can be found at Petco and can be used directly on the snake. I treated once and killed the mites in one shot. It can be used on everything. Its also much cheaper than PAM.
