Gorilla's War on Mites

[frankykeno]

I have heard from many people on this site that rid(lice spray) Is the same exact thing as P.A.M. I believe they even posted ingredients and % of them and they were exactly the same. Sorry but I cannot find the thread and I really dont feel like looking for it just letting you know what I was told.

"I've heard" is NOT a good start to any sentence involving the health of someone else's snakes! If you cannot take the time to look up a thread to even reference something, then please consider not saying something is exactly like something else.

I've heard the lice spray is the same ingredients and active ingredient solutions. But I don't have any studies or any research saying they do or do not work the same way. I'm sure the lice spray will kill the mites. But, I have no evidence to support the theory that it won't kill my python.

Again with the "I've heard". I've heard a lot of things in life and about snake keeping. What I know is that when it comes to treatment of mites I'm not going to be worrying about $20.00. One product may well be like (not exactly the same) as the other but seriously, is it worth the risk to your snake? Is it even worth the hassle to you if the mites keep coming back? Is it worth having mites in your collection when they are a known vector for disease? Think about it and think about advice given with the words "I've heard" in it.
