return of the mites

[NetBSD]

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

i have reptile relief that works great, i think my problem is the tank. the female BP was clean for about 2 weeks but i guess i didnt get the eggs all outof the tank, PAM is suposed to keep working for a month from what ive been reading so im gunna give that a shot next.
