or the nix lice treatment mix, I personally like this one better bc you can treat the boa directly. go to walmart buy nix shampoo (2 oz) fill up an empty milk jug with water and shampoo(very important detail 1 gallon per 2 oz of shampoo)..follow same instructions at the p.a.m. remove contents, sanitize, soak boa. the difference is this stuff can be sprayed directly to the cage and boa. I sprayed the carpet in the snake room as well why not you have a gallon of it lol return water bowl after 24 hours. repeat as needed honestly I spray enclosure everyday for a week. haven't seen a critter since. Now I spray every boa that comes through my door with the nix treatment
my 2 cents lol |
I think that it should also be said that if Nix is used improperly it is can also be fatal. Both treatments are permethrin based and can be toxic. Follow both protocols with care. Should also be a little more cautious with baby snakes.
