If I mist the moss, will that also get rid of the Nix? Everyone has hides in there (everyone has plastic hides, so they were washed really good, and put back into the clean tanks), except for 2, which had bark hides. So they have cardboard hides while the bark hides are being treated. They seem quite content with these for the moment.
I think the Woma is stressed because of the paper towels. I don't think it feels good on her skin. She's usually very active at night, but then once we turn off the lights and go to sleep, she's typically resting in her hide (knowing she won't be taken out at that time I'm guessing). So when she had to stay in a pillow case while we treated the tanks, she escaped a couple of times before we let her back into the tank, with those paper towels, and she kept pacing back and forth, even with the hide in there. I'm wondering if I can just put her back onto a towel instead. I don't really care to know how many mites are coming off her (only 1 snake in the collection was found to have mites, and it wasn't her, so I'm comfortable she doesn't have them, even though they were all treated). she's usually on a towel, and she really likes it from what I can tell.
What do you think? keep her on the paper towels and see if she appears less stressed? they're going to all be on these paper towels for awhile, and I want them to be comfortable in the process.
