new boa has mites

I wouldn't put the lice removal on the snake! Its for the cage. Reptile relief can be put on the snake.
If using the spray ones.

yeah i just read it again to check thank you for catching the error

Folks wonder why information doesn't come when requested?
Its shunned at every turn when its presented as quoted/proven advise from folks well advanced from internet spoon feeding.

In the last 5 yrs we as a hobby have lost 5 very long term pioneers(if you will) of the hobby.
They like those like minded that(for whatever reason) attempt to "PASS ON"
are now met at every turn with a trendy option as a solution to everything.
Wonder why herp forums now move at the rates and redundancies they do?

Socialism knows no boundaries

well good news and bad news the mites seems to be gone i know its to early to get really happy hes really hard to see them hes a grey red tail and has alot of small little black spots but when i rub my hand over his body no mites on my hands and when i look over him i cant see anything moving for the moment
they all seem to be dead in the tank also i used paper towel for bedding and no black spots on the paper also i used the only thing i could find after going to 3 pet stores
natural chemistry reptile spray after i used the product i let him soak in water for 20 mins hoping it would also clear up the impacting hes having
i saw alot of dead mites in the water i counted 13 dead mites
but it did not clear up the impaction
it looks to be dried fecal and i feel a bump on the body like its backed up im going to have to take to someone who knows more about this then me hope everything works out well hes a beautiful snake i love his color and he loves to be handled

Just for the record, they all work if you use them correctly. RID, Equate and PAM all contain the same ingredient. This is NOT a reptile safe product the way it is being described here. Precautions must be taken to prevent poisoning. But it is effective.

Reptile relief is good for the snake itself. It dries up the rostrum, preventing the mite from being able to feed, and it dies. But it also will dehydrate the snake, so you must clean off afterward, and should soak the animal to help against the dryness of the skin.

Olive oil is another alternative for the snake itself. You simply apply liberally, let stand for a while, and it will suffocate the mites. No chemicals needed for the animal itself. Soaking in plain old water will suffocate, or drown the mites as well.

I've used all those methods with success.

Dont forget their will be eggs most likely.Thats were the Equate or the Pam comes in.
It leaves a residual to kill new mites that hatch before they get to breed.I'm not sure if Pam kills the eggs or not,i know the equate does.
If your not using either,keep a close eye out for any new mites and kill them.
Good luck man.
See a vet about the impaction!

BTW, are you sure the "impaction" isn't just retained shed? This is a common place for shed retention, and if it happens more then once, it builds up. Pictures aren't clear enough to tell very well.

yeah the eyes are very much on him but i did a really good job with the tank i let it soak for over an hour with the spray then filled it with water and 1/2 a cap full of bleach let that sit for about 20 mins then gave a good rinse dried then cleaned again i also put vaseline around the top again just incase so we will see over the next few days
thanks again

I would like to know what the Vaseline will do to the boa if is slithers up the glass and it build up in its nostrils?
I personally would not put vaseline in my boa cages.But thats just me.I never had mites in my house in 3 years since getting into boa's.Just lucky at thsi point.
It seems the breeder you buy from has a bit to do with that.
This is why i do not use bedding and only paper.But also,my boa's are not in my living room so i'm not looking to make the cages pretty.

yeah i just tryed to take pictures again my iphone in with hd still wasnt clear im going to take him to parrets of the world the owner there is a very big animal guy and he has a snake breeder on staff see if they can help me out its right down the block and would save me $80 just to walk into the vets office
