paper towels are to monitor the more outbreak so you can see what you're dealing with. substrate will just complicate the process.

you must ensure adults, babies and eggs are dead, and as SDA mentioned above, the lifecycle is about 30 days, which means you're not just treating what you see, to need to kill what you don't see as well.

good luck. this will be a tough battle, friend.

QUARANTINE. ALWAYS. QUARANTINE.

Question about Quarantine: If I am putting all my animals in the snake room where no other snakes are housed and all are bought within a 60-90 day window am I not properly quarantining? What am I missing? I am not introducing new animals in a room with established animals I am putting all new animals in there. Honest question not trying to come off bad just curious how what I am doing is different than a best practice. I have thick skin you don't have to sugar coat it.

Thank you!
