| From what I remember, put some on a cloth and then wipe from neck to tail. Also use it on the viv and put your snake somewhere else for a while to allow the fumes to dissipate. |

| If that doesn't work well for you, try Provent-A-Mite. You can buy it online if you can't find it in the stores. It's the best, in my opinion. |

| Just get the dilution right when using frontline ( im not sure on it, maybe worth a google ) as frontline is meant for dogs and cats, which are signifcantly larger than your average royal. |

Where did you get the Frontline from?
I got mine from the vets and she gave me to lowest concentration available so there was no need to dilute.
.... just looked at the bottle so I could tell you the concentration, but theres a big sticker over the vital bits that won't peel off

Rebecca- strange request- I don't suppose you could take a few pictures of your mites before you blast the nastie pasties?
I've put a common complaints section on the care sheet and it would be great to have a picture to illustrate what they look like.

| You would need to shoot them at like 1:1 Macro or something, so if she does, I hope she has a half decent camera. |
