They should come off in the soaking. Don't worry too much about it.

@ interloc finally some one else who actually realizes this about nix you should see other threads, where people try and argue against it. These are also the people who buy only the aspen bedding with a picture of a snake on it when the bigger cheaper bag with a hamster is the same thing .

To the OP you can buy it at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Riteaid, any drugstore will carry it.

Here is the proper mixture formula for nix so it won't harm anything this will also help you against the mites read it good. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ng+mites+Aaron

The part in bold. That statement is extremely off base considering most people on here use paper towels. IMO there is no reason to make a generalization like that.

As to the Nix usage. I have heard that use of Nix has caused multiple cases of neurological issues in snakes, and when I can find the links I will gladly post them and if I can not find them then I will admit me being wrong. Until I find a case study where it is proven to be wrong I will not use it on my animals nor will I endorse it at all. But like I said if I can not find the links after wake up then I will step up and say that I was wrong. Right now the only site I can think of that it was on is down for a bit so I will have to try tomorrow.

Works both ways dude. This is a video I saw of someone who used PAM incorrectly. The message should be here, use both products at own risk.

I think your taking what I said out of content and thought about it to much. I'm saying this because its a great comparison because it compares other lice treatments in a can just like PAM and people will only use PAM because some one was smart enough to slap some stuff on it about reptiles and market it to the community.

It's just like some one slapped a snake on some aspen bedding and sells its for 19 dollars a bag at petco and a bag 5 times as big with a hamster on it is 10 dollars. It was more of a comparison of how marketing works not a generalization. Again you thought to much into what I said.

I agree chemicals are chemicals it's not like your spraying rainbows and sprinkles out of either can.

To OP I would use distilled or filtered water, but that's me.

If you can find an example of this that does not involve someone applying it incorrectly, ie without diluting it and putting it directly on the animal, I would be very interested. I haven't seen any cases not involving mis-application. doesn't mean there aren't any though.

To the OP- Yes you need to use purified water of some sort, either distilled or RO( reverse osmosis) water. This is so you don't have any issues with other chemicals, like chlorine, that may be in your water at home. This could alter or negate the effectiveness of the treatment. Now this is only my opinion based on my experience, but I have had no problems with either Nix or PAM, and in fact needed to combine the use of the two to get rid of my really bad infestation. I treated the racks and tubs with the Provent-A-Mite, and treated the animals with the diluted nix solution. in my case neither was fully effective by itself, but I ended up having them really bad, which was my fault in the first place.

Ok I found what was looking for and I had read it wrong. The issues were caused by no pest strips and actually sad that Nix was a good treatment when used correctly. So I will admit that I am wrong.
