It's name is 'pilbara reptiles' they have a website. Look on there & click on the 'mite control' in menu, there you will see this Taurrus mite control & all details.
Or taurrus antiparasite vivant lol It's the way to go, but all depends on price...
Hope this helps

TAURRUS isn't even on any trademark registry but they use the symbol showing they are and they just put some snake mites into a container and named it? I used every type of search I could with no luck of finding TAURRUS. If anyone had ever used this I'm sure someone would have spoke about it once or twice. Doesn't seem entirely legit.

Just because you can't find it, means nothing!

TAURRUS Mite Control for Snakes & Other Reptiles

I found one website but no credible references or sources. I'm almost 100% certain they aren't even a registered trademark. One small container of this crap is more expensive then the chemicals 99% of the herp community uses that has way more snakes and knowledge then you do.

Well I'm afraid your wrong there... Here's a screen shot from their site, and this is no crappy reptile shop. Chris who owns it is a long term herper and very knowledgable on reptiles including all of their DWA animals.

Well the person who distributes/owns it may be known but I still couldn't find the name in any trademark registry for US/UK/France/Spain. And there's still almost no reviews about his specific product.

@vwbabe, not all chemicals are man made.

Well to be fair everyone's allowed to make their own decisions with their snakes.. It wasn't too long ago that you were being told that you were doing a lot wrong, and I believe you really didn't like that...

That's the one TAURRUS

Fair Play Jamie, and your right about Chris & Tina's shop. They are in the gloibal breeding programs & even stock the 'Tai Pan' which puts them above most as even the zoo's don't have one!
They don't actually stock any other mite treatments now, only this one as it's the best with NO risks they told me today!

It's not the animals that they have in the place that makes it good.. It's the service and knowledge that's available if you ask nicely.. I've never seen him turn anyone away that needs advice.
