BP breathing weird and MITES!! Help

[somnambulant]

Permethrin has been the culprit in the puppies I have seen react...i was a dog groomer. It is very dangerous for dogs and reptiles alike, if not used correctly.

I've seen permethrin (Nix specifically) kill ball pythons as well, either because the owner used too much (active ingredient is the same but sometimes the concentration is not, not to mention the other chemicals in the mix) or used it directly on the snake. In fact, there was a post on here where someone had mentioned that they used Nix lice spray on their enclosure at the suggestion of one of their breeder friends, and their pied started showing neurological damage and died within the week (it was on a big post about using PAM). I have also read posts from people who have seen damage in their snakes (loss of motor skills, labored breathing, lethargy) after using Nix and other lice sprays, but they lived.

Either way -- I am glad that your snake is doing better, OP. Hopefully it really was just stress. Keep a close eye on him and take him to the vet if he starts struggling again! Definitely back everyone up on the Reptile Spray! Used that to kill mites along with PAM for the enclosure, and it definitely killed those suckers (but it dries out your snake too, so follow the directions so you don't over-do it).
