What do you guy think of this? I've been trying this for past 4-5 days. Stripping the tank of its wood chipping bark hides etc n replacing everything with newspaper n cardboard box for hide but I still have mites. I've soaked the tank with this stuff twice n still getting them.

Any ideas. Thanks. :-(

not used it myself i would use ardap or callington's.

empty, hoover an scrub the viv then spray with ardap/callington's an leave to dry for 24hrs then open the door's an let it air out for 4-5hrs.

cover the snake in olive oil an leave in a secure tub overnigh while the viv is drying/airing then put the snake back.

you can leave the oil on or give the snake a warm bath after an couple of hour's to wash the worst of the oil off, you cant use the oil if the snake is in blue/due to shed as it could cause problem's with premature shedding

Personally i wont risk putting any chemical onto a snake so would still leave the viv to dry for 24hrs, i know they claim callingtons is safe but i still wouldnt trust it

I used Ardap when Boris had them. Still had then a while later so re-used the Ardap and covered him in olive oil. Slippery big sucker! It worked though! Used Ardap in Sas' house at the same time cos they live next door to each other! lol.

Boas - 1 called Titch until we can think of a name for her!
