My snake has mites...

Question

We have already treated her once with reptile relief, and cleaned her cage out. it's now about a month later and she has them again... we havent held her in about 3 weeks now becasue for the first two she was shedding and then we fed her. so first of all i dont know how the heck she could have gotten them. no one has held her really for about a month, and we have no other reptiles in our appartment. second of all how the heck do we get rid of them?? i'd really apreciate any info/advice here. thanks

Answer 1

theres a snake tonic that u have to treat the snake everyday.just ask n employee at like a pet shop or go to the vet. o nd the mites must just be in ur house but they cant live on the surface of humans. so yea

thats all i can really say sry

Answer 2

You may have to repeat the treatment several times.  Do not use any kind of wood in the cage.  Only paper towels for substrate and plastic hide boxes.  The cage needs to be scrubbed out and treated as well each time.

Get the "no mites" spray at petco, (if you have a petco) or a local petstore. My older sister just got a Ball python about a week ago and it has mites and then see got the spray and they were all gone.
