We discovered last night that at least one of our BPs has mites--we participated in a youth herp camp in June, and apparently someone transferred mites from someone else's snake to mine!
Thank goodness my stepdaughter has sharp eyes, because I couldn't have seen the little critter crawling on my snake.
Anyway, I went back through all the threads regarding the use of Nix to treat snake mites and found that in one place, Mykee recommended using 1 Tbs Nix per 1 liter of water and in another place, Mykee recommended using 2 Tbs Nix per 1 liter of water. Elsewhere, he describes using a plastic Rubbermaid shoebox 1/2 full of water with 1/3 bottle of Nix mixed in.
As it has been a few years since some of that info was posted, I know that newer products/info may be available, though sometimes "tried & true" continues to be best. So I'm here to ask to make sure I use the right treatment.
Mykee, what is your current thinking on using Nix to treat mites? Anyone else? I want to be sure to do the right thing!
I'm cleaning cages and putting everyone on paper towels so I can see whether anyone besides my big male BP needs to be treated. Or should I just treat everyone "just in case"?
