Talk About... Quarantine Practices!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Do you think it's a just waste or do you think it's a bad idea?

Both, for reasons I already stated in my thread above. NIX is a LOCAL treatment. Turning it into a spray bomb isn't a wise thing to do. There's a reason that you don't use it on dehydrated snakes, and there's a reason you don't leave the water dish in when you use it.

p.s. Tim i saw your set up and i like it alot. Nice clean animals....somewhere i would consider buying from. no where near a pet store environment.

I second that, very clean and beautiful animals

Mix 50% castor oil and 50 % rubbing alcohol. Coat the reptile in this mixture (avoid mouth and eyes,

Only problem is, 90% of the mites on a snake will be in those very 2 places!

Well, let me say this; this thread HAS made me think about my practices a bit more (as I intended it to). I would definitely like to up my standards and methods (as we all would, I'm sure) but the standards methods I choose have to seem "worth it" to <b>me</b> in <b>my</b> situation.

Tim, when I come by next am I going to get sprayed with mite spray, and have to wear a air tight suit when I go see your herps?

hehe, j/k
