I used the Reptile Relief until my cans of Provent-A-Mite arrived. RR is for the snake except w/in 3 days of a new shed. U can also use RR on the hides/cages, but it needs to be wiped/rinsed off.


P.A.M is for the cage/bedding, and NOT for the snake. It can actually make your snake ill, or kill it if the animal is exposed to the fumes. Follow can directions.

I've had a mite flare-up on Hera, and since she's 18#, it's been a bugger getting them cleared up, but I've treated all the bedding and cages w/the PAM, and all of the snakes w/the RR. In another 3 days, I'll do the RR again, and the PAM in another month.

The other suggestion I've read here, is doing a line of PAM spray in your carpet and along the shelving of your rack(s) to stop the mites from crawling from one place to another.

Just remember, to NOT expose your snakes or inverts, etc. to the spray or fumes of PAM.

Good luck!!! They're nasty, blood-sucking buggers to get rid of!
