    return of the mites

    well a few weeks back i treated my 3 snakes (1.1 ball pythons and 1.0 garter) for mites, well now it looks like the female ball has mites again but the other 2 turnd up clean from what i can see but i still treated all of them. its been a terrible 2 weeks for me and now i had to spend a good part of the day cleaning tanks and treating snakes.



    i think im going to place an oerder in for some PAM, i keep hearing good stuff about this, anyone know a place to get it cheap?

    I was wondering when folks started spraying snakes with cooking spray, but with all the home brew mite answers, one could easily get confused.

    Wait, Maybe the cooking spray PAM is a good idea. Then the mites wouldn't be able to stick to the snakes It could make holding your snakes a little problematic
    Sorry to here about your returning trouble.

    well there is the vegetable oil method, and it does work, but requires a bunch more effort
