Ok came home from a big nite last night and looked in my spotted python cage and saw what i thought was a mite crawling on one snake. This morning I: Stripped the cage totally took out all the decor and boiled them. i have now soaked all three (adult) snakes in warm soapy water and coated each snake with veg oil. the snakes are now in isolation in click clack boxes. i have nuked the cages with "Top of decent” after i vacuumed it thoroughly. Tomorrow i will get from the vet some more "ToD" and some ivermectin to dilute and soaked the snakes again. Have i missed anything? any criticisms or suggestions? also is it safe to spray "ToD" directly onto the herps? Thanks |

Lol - I think U haveit sorted. There is also "Permoxin".
I keep a solution mix in a spray and use when I clean my enclosures and fittings
You can add a little to the warm water and that will remove mite from snakes. repeat in 2weeks |

When i have had mites all i do is remove the water bowl and run it under hot water then spray the cage and furnishings as well.If you clean the enclosure out you may spread the mites around.

Anyone know where i can get some equimec from? ive just been refused it by the vet they advised that it needs to be purchased under prescription and will not be prescribed for reptiles because its for mammals 
Can anyone suggest another point of sale?
Thanks again
