Marnie's Snakes

[RedSidedSPR]

Cee Cee just bit me again...twice! I told her she needs to pack up her stuff and go and stay with Steve until her attitude changes. I really think it's my red fingernails...she kept nosing around my hand like she was trying to decide what it was and then she would pull back and strike real quickly and bite me. Drew blood in two places on my thumb. Miss Attitude!!!

Awesome.

Cee Cee will actually look at my fingers through the glass and strike at them. She sniffs at my hand as if I have food in it everytime I put my hands in the tank. I guess it might be time to change the color of my nails. Can you imagine? Changing your nail color to please a spoiled snake!

The new snake is doing well. Ziggy and Athena are still hanging in there. Seeley and Sammy had all of their stuff treated for mites and were put back in their home last night. No signs of mites on Hermes and Possum anymore...but Cee Cee and Sadie still have mites on them. I don't see any in the tank...but I still see them on my hands after holding both girls. I have treated their stuff a couple of times...changed substrate and put in treated substrate several times and sprayed both girls with Mite Off. I don't know what the heck is going on with them.

Wipe Cee Cee and Sadie down with wet paper towels to remove some of the mites. Bag up the paper towel and tie the bag. Get it out of the house. Better yet freeze it before you throw it out.
You can even wipe those two down with some mineral oil/olive oil to kill some of the mites.

Burn the buggers.

Oh Jesse... Steve, both girls keep soaking and I keep applying the Mite Off. I guess I'm just going to have to order the provent-a-mite if this continues.

[guidofatherof5]

It will continue. Sending Provent-a-mite in the mail today.

Yea, you'll be wiping them off forever. Hope the provent-a-mite works for you!

The fingernail question.................that's a rhetorical question right? Since we all know the answer is yes.

It will continue. Sending Provent-a-mite in the mail today.
