That ones sold out everywhere. I'll try mite off as you can spray that straight onto the snake as well as around the viv.

You can get it from Blue Lizard - 13.99 for 100g + delivery though.

If I want anything from them I make sure delivery's over £50 so get it free - I stock up on bulbs, substrate etc - but of course you have to be able to splash out on the £50 worth ...

Unfortunately i haven't got £50 to spend. I'll pop into the local pet shop and see what they have.

I just thought can snake mites be past onto mammals? I'm just a bit worried about asti getting them as she's still recovering from major surgery.

No, they can't survive on or infest mammals (remember having debate about this on RFUK) but they can bite them - however Asti's not living in same place as Dio, is she?

Do rats have to be treated with flea stuff same as cats? If they do, the flea stuff ought to kill any mites - but honestly I wouldn't be too worried. I'd check her of course but the critters seem to be reptile specific.

No she doesn't live in the same place luckily. Thats ok then as was worried about them getting on my clothes and onto her. Just checked her over and no little black dots on her (and in exchange she peed all over me, one thing i'm glad Dio doesn't do). I've got tea tree wipes for Asti just incase though i guess they can't be used on reptiles.

The mites can't be affecting him too much as Dio's just eaten his first large mouse
