    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Mites.... What do they look like?

No problem. Ask as many questions as you like. I obviously didn't explain it thoroughly.

She doesn't like to submerge her head so I ddin't know if the soaking method would work around the eyes.

Thanks again!

It usually doesn't pose a problem. If they're left in the water for at least 30 minutes, they will usually submerge enough to take care of the problem. Their natural instinct is to do so to try and remove the irritant. Just make sure that the water is deep enough for her to accomplish this.
 
Thanks again Mike.

One last question. How much dish soap?

About a teaspoon in the tub with enough water for her to submerge?

Thanks!
 
Yes - that should be enough.
You want to make sure that there is enough soap to disperse throughout the water, but you don't need suds.

Gotcha. Thanks again Mike. I think I am armed with enough knowlege to take these guys out now. :ack2:
 
Well, I have soaked her twice now and she still has those little creatures buried around her eyes. They are in there pretty deep and don't look like they have any intentions of coming out. Any more suggestions or do I have to wait until she sheds to get them out?

BTW... I now have the permethrine solution, Provent-A-Mite, and some Reptile Relief.
 
If you have treated her, the mites may well be dead. You can try gently swabbing with a moist cotton swab, or wait til she sheds.
