Hiya Guys

I went to a rep shop today which had mites which got me thinking about my reps is there anything on the market which i could use just in case i ever bring any home with me

All my Royals are in Rubs and the substrate is paper and i clean all my Royals out once a week or more if needed is there any mite treatment which i could use???

just thinking something that i can spray in a rub every now and again before the snake goes back in really

Provent a mite any good or mite off???

Cheers Danny

I had mites on my 1st Royal, put her into a tub full of cooking oil for around 10 minutes, never had a problem since.

I think some vets are a bit iffy about selling it for reptiles as there has been no official study yet in its affects, so I said it was for my cats when I bought some.

also the right one. I have used this and it has worked a treat at killing them off. You can buy it over the counter from any/most vets. I paid around £16. put i know it can be a lot dearer in other vets.

I used Ardap when I had mites. Top stuff.

Ok cool just ordered a can of ardap off ebay

How do you use it just spray the rub with it and let it dry before you put snake back????

Thats the one.
It remains active for up to 6 weeks from a single spraying so that size can will last forever.

another vote for ardap, do a search on here and you will see the responses from it, works wonders

Ardap, same thing as provent-a-mite but a much bigger can and cheaper.
