Has anyone had any experience dealing with eradication of mites impacted around a snakes eyes? She will submerge her head completely foar a couple of minutes but thats not enough for the degree to which she has them buried under the rims of her eyes. The reptile relief says not to spray into face/eyes. I would imagine any product effective enough to kill would carry the same warning - but this is the only one I can get my hands on locally. If anyone HAS found or used such a product please let me know so I don't order online and wind up getting something I can't use in that area. I've also read of the Nix and Scope methods and they are looming on the horizon.

It drives me nuts because although a new addition she (Sesha) is hands-down the sweetest snake I've met and she's done an aoutstanding job of acclimating, switching to f/t and putting up with the course of the eradication.

All help/advice appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "looming on the horizon" ??? Use the NIX and your problem will be on it's way out the door. Period. Stop fooling around with the other crap. NIX is amazingly cheap. simple and effective.

Take a look down the first page of threads. I had problems with mites recently and there are tons of great suggestions to taking care of business. Nix worked great for me...take a look at the directions posted in the thread.
