prevent a mite questions i had wood mites

i did as the can directed cleaned out enitre cage replace substrate and sprayed the cage with prevent a mite i let the cage air out for 24 hours before returning snake to cage. now my snake keeps rolling over on his back and seems to be trying to hold his body off of substrate as much as possible. i house to snakes in this cage a 300 gram normal and a 150 gram spider both are males and havent shed within the last week. the normal seems more active then normal but not acting strangely. whats going on here????

Was the substrate dry? Did you remove the waterbowl before you sprayed?

nuthin was in tank hides, plants, or water bowls when i sparyed, and i didnt mist the tank with water but i supose it could have been moist

i have been using aspen bedding

Did you clean the substrate and all other items from the cage when you sprayed it??

If not REMOVE them ASAP rinse them with warm water dry them and repeat give them a warm bath let them soak for a little bit and dry them again.

As for the tank rinse the tank out as well with warm even slightly soapy water make sure to rinse ( and rinse GOOD) and dry the tank before placing the animals back in the tank.

As for thing's that were inside the tank Clean wash and rinse them as well be thorough if you have doubt's about it being clean what's the hurt in doing once more...

I hope this help If you have anymore question.... Just ask

i guess thats what must do

keep us posted... and get you a rack! I feel like they are much less maintenance than aquariums/tanks.

well 2 hours or solid getting it done work they seem to be doing much better and are back to acting like normal snakes again thanks.

snakes racks are with out a doubt less work and maybe i better way to keep them but i really enjoy being able to view my snakes whenever i feel like it with out pulling them out of their cage or rack. im sure as my collection grows ill invest in one or two for hatchlings and what not but i watch my snakes like some people watch fish. they amaze me in everything they do.

ok well my normal is 100 percent fine but my spider is twitching
i soaked him two seprate time nuthing at all that was in the tank when i sparyed that **** is or has gone back in it sense i cleaned it again i used a mild soap water solution dried it with a towel and put it in the sunlight till it was bone dry but hes acting very very weird. what is wrong with my snake!!!

Spider's have a slight wobble some more than others.... How's the twitching what do you mean by twitching excatly? Wish I could be of more help

i know about the whole womble thing but ive never seen him or any other snake act like this he looks like he developed a case of terrets i have him in a warm tube soaking again for the thrid time and when i put him in there held his mouth open for a few seconds like 8 to 10 like he was trying to reguratate something but hes breathing fine and i dont hear any weasing or any other signs of ri?
im really worried about him but unsure of what to do for him i am never using that **** again i really hope i didnt poison him

Im sure you'll and he will be ok... In some case's I may be off subject a little but sometimes spider's develop the wobble later in life... I hope everything does smoothly keep us updated on how he is Im gonna be on the rest of the night so if you have any question's just ask

How long have you had this spider?

he was from a very early clutch this year but seems to be doing much better now

He should do fine Glad to hear he's doing better I know when I had to use P.A.M the smell of the fumes got to me a little specially when your in inclosed area's he more than likely just needed alot of fresh air Glad to hear he's doin good... Well I gotta run be back in few

Keeping the snakes in their own cage/tub would be a good step to take. I use a mixture of 1 gallon distilled water to 1 bottle of NIX shampoo to treat any snakes I get in for mites whether I see them or not. It will prevent and get rid of mites. You must clean everything and put the snake in a clean tub/cage and treat the old one and the snake. I only have 2 snakes together when breeding. I have used this even on baby snakes with no problems. Give the snake a good soak in it and spray and clean all areas in snake room.
