ok, how about this.... Is "reptile relief" a safe product to use ON a reptile? I don't know.... let's go find out!
Where does one go to find out if it's safe? I know, how about the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine's Approved Medications List, (aka, the green book)!

Now, please, feel free to show me "reptile relief", "provent-a-mite", "provent a mite", "prevent-a-mite" or "prevent a mite". It won't happen.
NOW, where do we go for information pertaining to what's safe and what's not? I guess we have to rely on experience! There really is no replacement for the voice of experience. with all that being said, IN MY EXPERIENCE (which isn't nearly as much as I would like) I have successfully used equate bedding spray, with no evidence of any ill effects to my personal pet. Also IN MY EXPERIENCE, I have successfully used "reptile relief" with no evidence of any ill effects to my personal pet. Is there any real proof (ie, not info copied directly off their website. That info is a tool used to make you want to buy their product, although, it may not be an all out lie, it *could* be misleading and still be legal) that provent a mite is safer for use on surfaces that come in contact with reptiles, than equate bedding spray?
I ( among others) can personally vouch for these facts. 1. I used equate, not PAM, and it eradicated my snakes mites. 2. My snake, ( after a recent vet visit) has a clean bill of health...after using equate. 3. I saved 15 dollars + shipping by using equate, AND I had in my hands ready to use 20 minutes after finding a mite, verses a week or so for shipping.
I will no longer post anything on this forum ever again. I will however, come by and watch the new snake bytes every Wednesday! good bye BP.NET!
