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

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

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 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.
