    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

I have a mite outbreak in two racks. The source has been identified and most of the snakes were immediately treated with olive oil (temporary measure) with good results. Very few dead-appearing mites remained 48 hours later.

I have going to use a generic Elimite (1% permethrin) creme rinse to kill any eggs and remaining mites.

I am a physician and I know how to use it in people. Mites in snakes are new for me.

All bedding has beeen discarded and the totes scrubbed. Now the snakes are on white paper towels only.

Questions:
1) How long do I leave it on?
2) Is dilution needed?
