We've had mites on our ball pythons a few times and have a bit simpler process. First we take out the reptile and let him soak in warm water while we do the next couple steps. We remove everything from the enclosure and spray and wipe it along with the hide (we just use black plastic hides) down with the reptile spray shown in this video and allow them to air out before returning the reptile. Then we take the reptile that's been soaking and spray their body down with the reptile spray. We remove the excess with a paper towel and then spray some qtips with the spray and gently rub the animals head and chin creasd with it since this is where mites tend to be most concentrated. We also gently remove any visible mite with the soaked qtips. Its a bit tedious but it really makes a difference. Then we sprinkle some mite guard (found on amazon i believe) in the bottom of the enclosure put paper towels down, return the water dish and hide and then the reptile. Repeat once a week and no more mites!

I have a wooden hide and everyone's been recommending that I just throw it out because of all of the small crevasses that mites could hide in, is there an easy way to clean the hide so I dont have to buy a new one?

Isabel Mugaas It’s better to be safe than sorry. Your snake’s life is worth more than a few bucks. Just throw it out and either buy a new hide or make a new one.

Isabel Mugaas you can soak them in bleach water... after you soak them (completely submerged) for about 45 min you want to rinse thoroughly.... spray it down with the pro Vent a mite and let it sit for a couple days... it should be good after that... just keep it away from your pet and enclosure during this process.

All you do with wood and wooden decor is bake it I also freeze mine. Baking is between 250-300 degrees farinheit for an hour I do 285 degrees this also kills fungus so when they mold u wanna do this to after wiping it clean.

@@star1729 if you dilute it with water, like only a few drops of bleach and the rest water it’s safe as long as you let it sit for 15 mins and your reptiles and other animals out of the room because it’s still very potent. I’m currently dealing with mites and I’m cleaning all my enclosures with bleach, it doesn’t kill mites but it can drown some and it can kill all bad bacteria these little buggers carry.

Mites are the devil

My baby beardie died from mites as nobody educated me about them, I'm really glad your educating people who need it :)

We watched several video's before finding yours. I just wanted to say we found your video VERY useful in areas others did not address. For instance you probably just saved my birds life, thank you a million times over :) We are about to get started, and while we are happy we watched several video's yours gave info the others just didn't include! Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this, it was awesome! :)

Just saw this upload and I needed this because I was so worried about going to a reptile expo and bringing home mites!

Holy moly I didn't even think that my tarantulas might be affected by the fumes of the medication. Thanks for bringing it up cuz I haven't seen anyone else talk about it. You just may have saved my beloved pets.

Awesome tip about the feeder bugs. Love the authenticity of your video thank you

Thank you so much !! This will help me hopefully

I got a blue tongue skink and I think his enclosure had mites cuz they are allll over it but not on him. Thank you for this video

This video is everything. Thank you for sharing. I have one question though… can mites bite you and do you have to wash everything in the room and spray everything to get ride of them. My daughter had a few itchy bumps and that’s when I started doing research because we just got her the leopard gecko for her birthday and had no clue of this problem. Thank you so much

You can also use nix care cream (human lice treatment) diluted in 1 gallon of water...replace bedding with paper towel...spray both reptile and entire enclosure ( removing water dish while spraying and for a couple hours after).treat once every 3 days for 9 days.

RID home lice, bedbug, dust mite spray is the same thing as the prevent-a-mite and cheaper as well as easier to get a hold of. Just an fyi.

Thank you for this video!!!

Thanks for this. I just found mites in my bottom bin of my rack for the first time since i started keeping snakes over 20 years ago. The weird part is that i haven't been to an expo or gotten a new animal in years so i have no idea where they came from.

My Asian forest scorpion had a really bad mite out break the other day cause I got lazy with cleaning out dead crickets (digging around is such a hassle ugh) and I had to change all of his substrate and moss out.

I had the same results with provent a mite. I only used Jurassimite while I waited for my provent a mite to come in the mail. The Jurassimite helped but after I got in the provent a mite I saw pretty much immediate results (I use paper towel with it and it works just fine)

Hi I own crested geckos and am looking into getting other types of geckos as well, but I just wanted to know if you have any knowledge of geckos getting mites.

Tyler thank you man

Can you do a video on how to take care of tail rot

so... question... should i worry about quarentine if i am bringing home a reptile from an expo if its my first reptile? because im starting out bio active and i was hoping to just put him in there...

Thanks!

What are you to do with animals with no substrate...beardies etc? Would you just spray that prevent a mite stuff on the tile?

After I spray the mite spray with the substrate in there put my bearded dragon back in the cage with the same substrate I spray the mite spray on ?

i saw a small bug in my crested gecko's enclosures. it was kinda big so maybe it was just a nat? what do you think?

You are so cool I love your videos

I got mites just from buying bedding at a reptile shop. I haven't added any reptiles in over a year and sanitize before handling so I was surprised to find it on one of my snakes.

Would you do this with a ball python you know does not have mites but to be safe getting my first ball python on may 26th so want to be prepared.

but if you spray the glass after it dries alot of time i mist my tank and my dragon licks the water off the glass therefore ingesting that stuff

You are adorable mites and all!!

Is it absolutely nessecary to use paper towels as a substrate after getting rid of the mites?? I'm a first time ball python/snake owner, all the information I find is conflicting, and I'm confused and terrified ;-; please help...

also i just got a hognose and i dont really have a different place to put him besides my room would putting him in quarantine across the room be enough? i just don't really have another place to put him.

i use paper towels for my normal substrate. does that mean that i can’t use the prevent a mite product?

Can you treat your reptile even if it do not have mites when you first get it.

Hey Tyler i don’t know if I should buy my first snake from “morph market “any tips or suggestions?

I just checked my water bowl but I can’t tell if the specks are just the substrate or reptile mites....

so what about leopard geckos etc they can get them too right i tried looking it up on here didn't find much but im like searching all my tanks now lol but like doing major scrub downs and searching , i know my dragon is fine for sure not searching my aft and leo's and crested , thanks so much for the info it helps

I have a dog and rabbit I am looking into getting a crested gecko if it ends up having mites will they pass on to my other pets or is it only for reptiles

So what if I have one Snakeand I don't touch any other reptiles and dont have him around any other reptiles can I still get my mites

Hi Tyler! This is unrelated but I have pet rats. I’ve been trying to make a dig box for them with coconut fiber substrate and wheat grass sprouts but every time the sprouts begin to grow the whole thing explodes with mold and I have to start over. Is mold an issue with substrate or is it the live plants?

love the jacket

How do you keep humidity up during mite treatment if substrate cant be sprayed or get wet with provent a mite?

Should I still quarantine if I only have the one lizard?

Will mites mess with birds if they get to them?

My blue tongue skink has mites in her ears too, how do I get those out? I don't want to spray it in there

Q: how do U remove the mites from their eyes?

Love ur animals ❤️

I have a question. If I’m looking to get a snake and I’m only getting one and I have no other reptiles, should I still quarantine them for 60 days?

So I understand that you leave substrate in enclosure to treat mites and replace substrate every two weeks for reptile that you already have that has gotten mites , but what do you do to quarantine when you buy a new snake ?, do you spray reptile spray on new snake and then rid a mite in enclosure and then place paper towels on the floor or substrate on the floor to quarantine for 60 days?

How would you suggest managing mites on hissing cockroaches? I know that the mites are good for the cockroaches, but if there are too much they can jeopardize their health. I'm getting my first roach soon and mite problems is something I don't think I'm prepared for, because not many people discuss it. I am only getting one cockroach, and I know this problem is seen more so in colonies, but I just want to be prepared.

Should you still quarantine a reptile if it's your first? Very informative video!! Thanks.

Just found mites for first time yesterday i even put the new animal in a different room for 2 weeks didn't notice anything. Thank you backwater reptiles or the all ohio reptile show. Can they live on cork and stuff cuz all i got was food and décor

I got mites on a snake from a buddies collection and it really sucked. I say spray your new snakes and quarantine. Just because you cant see them yet doesn't mean it doesn't have any learned this the hard way. I only waited like a week and then within a month two of my snakes had them.

I love your hair

I plan on getting 4 snakes at the same time ..I already built Thier bioactive enclosures but can I quarantine all my snakes in another room or different rooms away from Thier forever enclosures?

Can prevent a mite kill plants ? I have a bio active

Can you treat your snake while it’s going into shed?

I didn’t quarantine one of my new snakes cause I bought it from a reputable breeder , and boom 1 month later I got em , seems only 2 got it but I’m currently making sure everyone is treated and I personally use Nix, it’s definitely nice to be able to spray the animal and rest of cage and not worry about killing my animal , definitely must be mixed with 4 quarts of water , thank goodness we always use sanitary procedures handling from one to another

What about spraying all that stuff before yoy even get mites. Not like everyday, but once in a while to prevent mites in the first place? Example: You bring a new lizard home. You put a little substrate in their quarantine tank and everything has already been sprayed with prevent-a-mite and you spray they lizard with the other mite spray.

Some people do use it proactively when bringing a new reptile home. Especially if they have a large collection. Can you imagine a mite outbreak when you've got dozens or hundreds of snakes? Ugh. Personally I think it's a Pro's vs Con's type of deal. It will stop potential mites outbreaks but you are exposing your animals to a pesticide. Provent-A-Mite is an extremely powerful pesticide that has caused harm and death to people's animals when not used correctly. Which from what I've read it's unfortunately pretty easy to do. It's definitely a product worth researching deeply before using imo.

Does anyone know were to get prevent a mite?

Do you know how to get rid a hamster of them? My white hamster Pinky has recently got mites or ticks and I am struggling with this issue at the moment. He's got a bold patch on his pinky white skin but I cannot see what has caused it as the tiny creatures are invisible.

It doesn't matter what brand of dish soap you use. The soap makes the mites drown rather than floating on the surface of the water.
