Get Rid of Snake Mites Fast | Easy Treatment

[@SpiritLopRabbitry]

I bought a rack system from a breeder and now two of my snakes, and probably three have mites. I just found out last night and I've been doing so much research. I'm gonna try this.

[@potatocat3428]

How’d it go?

[@notKlintvanZ]

I’m dealing with mites right now this seems like one of the best methods out there! Clean and simple, luckily saw them in time and got my house sprayed down and now a week into the treatment. Thank you for putting this out there I hope the snakes you got are now happily breeding and the lady back up to proper weight :)

[@kirstennicole1996]

First, I'm very sorry you have to deal with this... but its probably a good thing you have them now. Second, I recieved 3 hognose BABIES from a breeder with mites... never having dealt with them before. I researched like crazy and was worried about the nix on babies. I found a NERD video and a snake discovery video both saying dawn original dish soap would drown the mites(one recommended days worth of soaking which I wasnt comfortable with). I ended up taking the container they came in, and putting just enough warm water to cover their bodies with a drop of the dawn dish soap every few nights. After a little over a week they were gone completely... I did continue for 3 weeks just to be sure the eggs were hatched and dead. It worked really well, and they just kept their little heads up out of the water. It creates a resistant surface that drowns the mite... I was really impressed (dawn is that soap that they advertise for removing oil from wildlife such as ducks etc..) Inexpensive, safe, and worked like a dream. I also soaked the enclosures, and kept them quarantined.

[@sandyelliott3350]

Did they soak 24 hours a day for 3 weeks ?

[@kirstennicole1996]

@@sandyelliott3350 no, in the video the other person soaked them for several days. Mine I gave them 20 minutes, every few days.

Adam, I use Sevin dust... Have been using it for years... Just sprinkle a bit on top of bedding and voila! No mites ever! I kept infecting my collection using the aspen bedding from my local Fleet Farm... now I sprinkle the Sevin dust on every time I do a bedding change or add any new bedding and have not had any problems in over a year... This even takes care of a new snake with an infestation... First I used Natural Chemistry Reptile Relief Spray to kill all current mites on snake.... spraying this on my hand and wiping down much like you did with coconut oil, and then treat bedding with Sevin dust.... mites were gone immediately... no 2 weeks of treatments.... check it out!

Been watching your channel for a few months now...just got a shipment in of 3 ball pythons. One was fine, second has scale rot, and the third has scale rot, respiratory infection AND infested with mites! Never had mites in all the years of breeding ball pythons. WHY do people do this to others!? It’s not fair!! Thank you for the info, she is in quarantine with coconut oil paper towel and mite killing spray i got from the pet store. Fingers crossed.

[@Redhead.Exotics]

I just bought a defensive children’s python around a foot long from a reptile expo in New York. I inspected the snake on two separate occasions while there and didn’t notice until I was almost got home. Now I’m trying to combat the mites. I’m so nervous they will somehow infect my bioactive gecko/skink terrariums. I’m gonna attempt the coconut oil but, this little children’s python is super defensive I’ll most likely get bit a few times.

[@mandywright8714]

[@reptilesrodents]

I feel your pain bro I was vending a expo in my state of MI, and I bought another ball python. I didn't know the vender but he had a big nice setup lots of diversity, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I got a 900gm female fire single gene k, and usually I got a probe kit at my table but forgot it that day and not a master of popping. ok so I got her home put her into quarantine she was a he he had a RI, and he had mites. so pissed cant reach him I did report it to the expo manager. sorry long story I'm getting mad talking about it, so hopefully it works good for you and congrats on your skink.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Reptiles & Rodents brutal eh!? I’ll never understand these jerks who do this to animals and rip people off. Hope all is well with your new snake now.

[@Christinas_creatures]

Is this method safe for small snakes? I have a year old Leucistic rat snake and corn snake -I have not seen any on the rat snake and he's the recent addition. The corn snake I've had for over a year but today he's been in and out the water dish and I see small black dots but I'm not positive it is mites. I don't see any movement and I have no idea how he could of gotten them other than the new rat snake which I've seen none on and he's in a separate room. I know this is an old video but I'm desperately searching for a safe way to treat him.

Just picked up a male fore today for 90 bucks he's at 1000 grams no respiratory infection but deaf had mites. Cleaned out the full quarantine enclosure put his water dish and hide in a zip lock bag in the freezer and washed the snake off in about an inch of water with a tad bit of dawn diahsoap to wash them off and wash and kill the mites. Laid down paper towels as well gave him a good look over and haven't seen any mites in the last 2 hours after his bath. Hopefully the dawn dish soap bath worked.

I was so angry when I seen they were all over my beautiful Enchi and black eyed Lucy well hopefully I can get them all out and kill all the nasty little bugs. They were very clean before I knew it was probably on the mouse or the rats that they had from the pet store because they were clean and didn’t have them before it . I’m seriously considering getting frozen rats or mice for them to eliminate any future incidence . I know they were probably happy I bathed them and a little scared but they knew I would not hurt them and they seemed ok and actually didn’t mind the warm water bath for a while. Now they are resting with the clean tanks and white paper towels and I’ll keep checking and washing and spraying the special spray just for them I’ll put the spray my hands and then run it though the body avoiding the head and eyes so they are safe but thank for the coconut oil I’m going to get more of it and start putting it on the for future reference and it’s more natural and not harmful so yes definitely thanks for the video and explaining everything people need to know about it . I’m also glad you got the two beautiful python and I think and know they are very happy and healthy with you having them and taking care of them. Thanks for the awesome video tips and all else.

When I got my first snake, I got him from a pet store and I got everything else for him from another pet store. Somewhere from either one of those places he got mites.

She has never had a snake, but she helped my sister take care of her 4 snakes. When I came back, the tank was infestee, and he had almost his whole body was covered in mites. His head was completely covered except for his mouth, and there was a pinkie in the cage from I'm guessing the meal he just had while I was away and he had thrown it up. Since I wasn't there I am not entirely sure why he regurgitated it, but I can guess its because he was under so much stress and his whole body was covered in mites.
