    Just found some mites...

    I just found some mites crawling around on my RTB. Should I change out the aspen bedding, and clean everything else now or after I treat with PAM or something?

    I am also not sure if I will be able to find PAM nearby, what are some other good alternatives?

    mites need air fill your tank to the top with water and very little bleach. let it sit for about twenty minutes, rinse it several times and clean inside by hand.

    PAM can be found in some specialized reptile stores or online http://www.pro-products.com/miteandtemp.html.

    Why use it and not some ineffiient alternative http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=71721

    This will not get rid of the mites on the RTB nor will it get rid of the eggs which mean re-infestation guaranty in 30 days
