Here is the pic of the mite spray

So then the Ingredients:
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate 2.1%, undecylenic acid 0.5%. Other Ingredients: 97.4%.

Would not be a factor in a regurgitation considering you were vigilant in cleaning, etc.

(Hope that stuff did the trick with your mites)

So it's been three weeks since you stopped treatment? Or am I reading it right that treatment just ended, it lasted three weeks and she hasn't eaten since before the mites?

Three weeks might (mite) not be enough if there is eggs. The sprays don't kill eggs that have been laid already so keep an eye on that.

How old is that substrate in the tank please?..........?

Chris you understand that this is the active ingredient of Nix head lice remover, correct? That yes it may be a poison but as long as it's diluted and then washed/rinsed off it won't do any harm since it goes onto people's heads on a regular basis.

Yup.

Permethrine is the active ingredient in Nix, P.A.M.,No-Pest-Strips, most flea sprays, etc.

Sure, watered down it's not going to send you to the emergency room or hurt your animal the first exposure or two. However it's still poison that shouldn't be inhaled or sprayed on the skin. Proper preventative precautions should be taken.

(Not applicable in thus case anyway)

Why is you under tank heater, not under the tank?

Wykyd · 07-16-14, 04:36 AM

It was one of the "ideas" that came across when trying to build up the ambient temp without using a lamp. Of course it did not work, but it helps LOADS with the humidity. There is a UTH under each side of the tank (hot and cold).

Well I guess I'm going to try and feed her today and see how that goes. I finally put the drift wood bridge thing I made into her cage and she was all over it. She's definitely a climber as she normally wraps around and climbs up the tstat probe wires... now she actually has something she can get off the ground with easily. Hopefully this helps her calm down some. I'm also going to get some fake vines or branches this weekend to brighten up the tank a bit too an give some more cover.

Two under tank heaters? What do you have them plugged into?

Wykyd · 07-17-14, 03:58 AM

ReptiTherm tstats.

Still going to hold off on feeding her to be safe. I did pick up some hopper mice last night tho. Maybe feed her this weekend.

The vines will help alot. It's fun watching your snake explore it's new layout isn't it?

I love watching them do this. Mine uses his vines all the time.

Wykyd · 07-17-14, 04:55 PM

I'm excited to finish.... been busy this week so I haven't had the time yet to check stuff out. I did however add the drift wood to the tank and she loves it. She climbed it the night after I put it in.

**EL Ziggy** · 07-17-14, 08:40 PM

Your tank is coming along nicely Wykd. Once you add those fake plants, vines and leaves you'll be in the mix. Good job on the enclosure.

Wykyd · 07-20-14, 09:37 PM

She ate tonight... ferociously might I add, could totally tell how hungry she was. I think she may have been disappointed with the size of the meal too. Have my fingers cross I don't find it layin the viv in the AM....... hold that sucker down I said. hah.
