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.

Do not use Provent-a-Mite with Natrix
Hi all,
Just a warning!
Natrix natrix dies if you use PAM as directed. Not my first rodeo, used it plenty of times successfully before, but it only took 12 hours to go from eating out of my hand to dead for this species. I will continue to use the product, just not on Natrix. I guess someone had to learn the hard way. Very bummed. They didn't even have mites =(

Well that sucks!
Sorry for your loss and thanks for posting to forewarn others of the possible dangers with this species.

Eastern Hognose are the same. Get it near them and it's over. Not sure about other members of the family.

Wow really? I had only heard rumors about tree boas / pythons having issues.
Good information, thanks!

I used it with Madagascar tree boas without issues.
I sprayed it on paper towels, let them dry overnight and put them under an untreated layer of paper towels as a substrate. I wanted to avoid direct contact with the snakes (they were small at the time).

I have used PAM as a preventative measure for an incoming shipment of Western Hognose youngsters. All animals tolerated the treatment very well and have been thriving for some time now.
Not sure why it would affect Easterns and not Westerns, but when dealing with PAM it seems following the instructions to the letter goes a long way in preventing an unfortunate outcome.

I've used Provent a Mite for years for my QT with ATBs and never had any issues.

I've had to use it on an adult chondro and didn't have issues as well. I wouldn't use it with babies, though.

It's the same with North American Nerodia and Thamnophis. I found out that the hard way a few years ago, and wound up killing several Water Snakes and a big female Ribbon, but I've never had a problem using this product on other Colubrids or any Boids.
