JCP Issue

I recently had mites and so I cleaned and baked everything. Instead of putting coco brick back in I just used newspaper. Wellllll my young JCP keeps crawling under her newspaper. Should I be worried about this?

Re: JCP Issue

I would not worry to much as she will just be hiding. Just keep checking the newspaper for mites to make sure they are completely gone.

as wayne asked did you treat everything ?

with either a treatment you use directly on the snake

or

a treatment that covers killing mites on the snake another way

like provent a mite

you take out and spray everything from the tank except the water bowl.wash the water bowl with hot soapy water

spray the complete inside of tank

put the snake and water bowl in another room during treatment and until 2 hours after treatment of tank and tank contents with provent a mite

after 2 hours put snake and water bowl back into its tank.

provent a mite remains active for 30 days

it kills all mites and every other mite that hatches after treatment

a mite life cycle is shorter than the 30 days the treatment remains active for

its always worked for me 100% perfect everytime first time

cheers shaun
