Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Diatomaceous earth to get rid of mites?? I do recall that you said it was good for internal parasites, but how does it work on mites? Wouldn't rolling the snakes in that "ground glass" mess up their eyes?

Couldn't you put it in a sock and use it like a duster?

Diatomaceous Earth works by removing moisture, thus dyhydrating the mites.
I have used it before with excellent results.

How did you use it? Explain the procedure, please. Dust, dust bath, etc...how long, how long it took to eridicate the mites, how many follow up treatments were needed and for how long...that kind of information would be helpful.
Hopefully this is not too off topic?

Deborah,
I have used it both dusting and a dust bath.
I have dusted snakes overhead and let them crawl in it also.
I leave the snakes in for about an hour and then rinse them off.
If you look closely, you can see mites in the powder.
I repeat the procedure as nessessary.
On heavily infested snakes I use BK. (Black Knight).
Sorry for being off topic!

Isn't BK toxic for snakes? I know that there's a thread on the topic somewhere, i'll try and find it.

Nope! He's still too busy saying it's our fault for harassing him.
