Re: Scale rot??? HELP!

Sorry for the dilemma. Beautiful snake too! Be careful with the proventamite with baby snakes. Don't overspray the enclosure. Remove the water bowl also. Make absolutely sure all the area in the quarantine enclosure is dry and all the vapors have dissipated. It may be best to wait 24 hrs b4 placing the animal back into the enclosure. I know that Pro Products says you can place the animal back into the treated enclosure like in 30 minutes or so but that really is much too soon. There is no hatchling or juvenile snake dose for proventamite so just be very careful. Be cognizant of the other snakes as well. Good luck. That doesn't look like scale rot at all. It looks pretty normal.

Albert, thank you for the concern. I was for sure going to wait longer than 30 minutes to place him back in the tub. Would you recommend using a different product instead? I know Nix is also a common mite treatment. Do you think I should skip the provent a mite and use this? Or something else?
