Just discovered them on one of the new arrivals  Not loads but easy to spot on a snow!
He's been in his own viv but in the same room at the rest, been to the Vets and got a massive thing of Frontline spray (£35 ouch )
So bath Flash and then just spray it on kitchen roll and wipe him over avoiding his head yeah? Deep clean viv, disposable hides and keep him on paper, then repeat in 2 weeks?
Right? wrong? Fed right up and panicing a little.
Also should i treat all my snakes? (or is it a bit like nit lotion you shouldn't use it unless your sure they have a problem)
Sorry i know this has been covered before but the threads all kinda messy and as the Rep vet wasn't available and i knew what i needed they just dispenced it for one of the Dogs so i didn't have to wait till next week.
Cheers Peoples.

kk the 1 st thing, have you handled the other snakes with out washing your hands if so then yes treat them aswell or if they have came in contact with any thing from your new snake house or they are kept close togeather.
your Frontline, you should dilute upto 50%
you can do that by spraying it in, say a baby's bottle that way you have some measurements to go by
hope this helps or check the mites stiky

Been busy busy, found the lil Buggers in both my big corn vivs and then got paranoid that the boas could have them too (they are in the same stack) so i have done the lot!
Scrubbed, rinced, sprayed and frontlined 4 vivs and 9 snakes, i've put them and the 2 tiny babies on to paper with easy clean hides and boxes and scrubbed and bleached all their other stuff and RUBs/feeding tubs ready to go back in at a later date. It's taken me all day but hopefully i've got um all. Gonna repeat in 2 weeks and then keep them on paper for another two weeks and see how we're doing.
I'm pretty sure they came with Flash, one of the new arrivals and have been passed to the others either on clothing or by RUBs not being cleaned properly between snakes.
One more question, Flash was in a stack with my Leos, haven't found anything in there but can leo's get mites?? and if so is the treatment the same??? I'm preety sure the beardies are safe as their stack is the other side of the room and thay share no equipment at all, even when i'm doing water dishes i do them seperatly coz i do their veg at the same time. Rips and Gerry had a full clean out this week and i found nothing dodgy in there. |

Thanks Matty and Lee, I've done my best so I guess it's just a case of wait and see now.
It wasn't a huge infestation but i saw a few on flash, Ginge and Spook and saw some in the Boys (spook Romeo and Zak) water dish and Flash' viv.
Just hope my Leos are OK, i think Felix may be gravid again so don't want to rush in to trash their viv, she's stressy enough at the best of times and will stop eating over the smallest thing. |
