    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....

im looking for a way to kill mites for good. I have 3 pythons and never had a problem until i got my last bag of forrest floor . Now ive already oiled the snakes the way some have sugested and used the 5% bleach sollution and the little b?$%ards keep coming back. If there is anyone who could help i would greatly appreciate it because thy are our family pets but we also like to keep a somewhat natural look to the cages. Thanks for your time
 
I would replace all the substrate with paper towels for now. Spray the paper towels with Provent-A-Mite first, let it dry, and put the animals back in the enclosure. Make sure they have a large water dish to soak in, and change it often.

After 2 changes of paper towel on which there are NO signs of mites, you could go back to your substrate of choice; however, you may want to begin treating it with a spray of the Provent-A-Mite as a preventative measure.
 
Prevent-A-Mite really works great. I noticed my burm had a few mites, and I did exactly like ms_terese explained, and they were gone in a week.
 
thanks unfortunatly, my local pet shop is on the move to new location,so i have to look for it
 
actually, there's another product that has the identical ingredients that's about half the price that you can find anywhere....but i can't think of the name of it! I'll look for it an email you
