Mite problem on my hands :(

yeah, good stuff....

Cool. Kimbrya and The Nothing-Thank you very much, guys.

I like the reptile relief, too, but it is frustrating that it can only go on the body of the snake AND only kills adult mites. It's been doing that great so far, but ONLY killing adults doesn't really solve the problem.
Hmm...Kimbrya, i might try this olive oil thing. Does that just smother the mites without hurting the snake or something else? Or maybe just pick up some of the zoo-med Mite-off...Nothing, does that work on eggs and larvae too?
Thanks again. I think i can solve this if i just make a treatment choice and stick to it.
 
don't have the bottle with me at work to say, but i don't remember.

Pro-vent-a-mite, while not to be applied to the animal, is a great deterant against mites. great to use on the cage, substrate, and areas around the enclosure.

If you have a mite issue, you do need to treat more than just the animal. Mites can move 14 feet an hour, and will not necessarily stay on the animal... its best to treat as much of the room as possible.
 
I'm not sure about the olive oils effects... I but I heard its pretty good. It might be more of a deterent. I would try the Zoo Med stuff, if it is okay around the eyes. If you do, tell us how it works.
 
right on. i'll go out this week and get some of the Zoo-Med stuff. I'll let you guys know after a while if it starts looking better.14 feet an hour, that's crazy. considering how small the room is i keep him in, i better treat the whole thing as infested.
thanks again you guys.
