RE: mites

Top of Descent, you can get it from your local reptile shop, take the water bowl out and spray the tank. This IMO is the best way to get rid of mites.

Cheers

Take a look at this thread. The 'ticks' in the title were actually mites and there is a lot of talk about treatment there.

Hi Norman,

Yes, Top of Descent is the best product for the job.
Just remember to take the water bowl out before spraying, and leave out overnight.
Repeat again after a week, and then again after another week.

Let me know if you need TOD, we are in NSW and have plenty available.

Cheers Neil
