Re: Mites

Just wanted to add to this thread. I found mites on several of my snakes a few weeks ago, and decided to use the Nix method. Within a day after the first treatment the snakes seemed more relaxed and I was finding dead mites all over the paper liners and in water dishes. After the second treatment, I saw no more mites, suggesting they were all killed by the first round of treatment. I am giving the final treatment tonight, and I couldn't be happier with this method! It was well-tolerated by all the snakes; no one had any problems with it, even when my female blood snapped at the sprayer and got a mouthful...I was worried about her, but she's fine. Mark (gonesnakee) gave me tips and advice on how to do it all properly, and I highly recommend this method!!
