 Folow up on my snake with mites

ok i sprayed down my snake and cage with mite repelent, and i changed the substrate, i also scrub the cage down with a tooth brush and blech water. and all of the decorations, water bowls, hide boxes, etc. are in a tub of blech water for 24 hours. my rtb is the one with the mites but i did the same treatment to all my snake both bp, and rosy boa. but i still have one question. what do i do with the thermominters? they r digital so they cant get wet< do i get new ones?? right now they rnt in cage because im not sure how to clean them. i still have to spray my snake with the repelent a few more times, but is it normal for him to still be in the water after the first spray?

What did you put on the snake?I hope it was not a permetherin based product.Read this you Don’t have to bleach or remove thermometers Ext,you just treat the cage and contents and your done.


Never apply pestcides to a snake,only use permetherin based treatments on cages and cage furniture!.

Take the water and snake out of the cage and spray the inside of the cage with rid for lice(permetherin active ingridiant,same as PAM)and spray the inside of the cage evenly,let dry completely and put snake back in.Don’t put the water in for at least another day!.

Do NOT apply directly to the snake!!




Any questions just shoot,This stuff can be harmfull if used improperly!

It probably Won’t kill the eggs,you just might get a re infestation.The only thing that will kill the eggs is permetherin,pet shop stuff Doesn’t work.
