    Does mite/tick spray kill isopods?

    Im gonna get rid of ticks soon, i just need to know if the spray kills them because i had a spot in my yard where there were a bunch of isopods breeding but my dad threw it away so if it kills them im probably not getting anymore isopods. Also, whats a good way to get rid of ticks off the snake, other than using pliers, because a lot of the ticks on my bp are in hard spots to get with pliers. Thanks.

    I would guess it would kill isopods but that's just a guess.

    I would use tweezers. They will be much better than pliers.

    I wouldn't use isopods straight from the wild anyway. Yes tick spray will kill them.

    If you are having parasites, I would use paper towel substrate and very basic plastic hides for a quarantine period. Then when that is over get dome mites actually meant for bioactive enclosures from a reptile store because they are many generations bred indoors away from toxins and other parasites, and also are tropical. Unless you live somewhere tropical, the ones out in your yard are probably not suited for BP husbandry.
