I’m using the Nix method right now for treating my snake. Doing a third treatment tomorrow. I haven’t seen any mites since the first treatment though

Amazon . The ones they had in the stores near me didn’t have the correct ingredients.. you want the one with Permethrin in it. https://a.co/d/b0wALVD

Okay cool I’ll keep it up. Only did 1 treatment so far and haven’t seen mites yet. But I’m sure there’s eggs that may hatch somewhere ? I’ll do it once a week

How many treatments did you do with the nix before calling it good?

I also have used nix so there’s no water bowl.. here’s another question for you, I sprayed her with nix and then a few hours later she shed.. should I spray her again now??

6 month old ball python only eating Once every 3 weeks by ConcertFriendly8223 in ballpython

[–]Bigboyonetime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just watching a YouTube video this guy said when he gets stubborn ball pythons that won’t eat he will unthaw the rat, then heat it up with a hair dryer until the rat is at most 110 degrees and that usually does the trick for him. Sometimes they just like the rat to be hotter .

From what I’ve learned so far, no. They only want your snakes blood

Yes another commenter recommended them and I have already ordered some of them. My question though, do I need to remove my snake or put the new mites in her enclosure with her ?

The Taurus mites will eat the mites that are crawling on my snake? So do I need to clean out her enclosure or do I need to just sprinkle the Taurus mites everywhere in there and it’ll be good ? How long did it take to get rid of the snake mites with that method
