Mites??

[jclaiborne]

I actually ordered it after going through countless pages on here about mites and seeing it recommended. Wont be here until late next week however.

Should I wait until it gets here to do a full clean, or go ahead and full clean this weekend and just use it when it shows up?

The Reptile Relief or in your case the zoo med version is for use on the reptile. It works by drying out the skin and killing the mites. Be careful though the reptile relief bottle says not to use if the animal recently shed (i forget the timeline)

If the animal is in shed pull him out let him soak in a tub, some people put a drop of dish soap in the water. Him soaking will drown mites on him. Scrub your cage with a bleach/water mixture. The cage should just be bare essentials until the mites are gone. Paper towels for "substrate" a plastic hide box and a water bowl. When the PAM comes in remove the snake and spray down the enclosure. After you can no longer smell the spray ( I let it sit for about 20 minutes) you can put the snake back in.
