I wished I had watched this before I put the Nix into the distilled water! Not only did it overflow, but I was unable to shake the Nix and water together. Being a first time snake owner and finding out that your snake has mites, I found this video the most helpful out of all the research I did online.
Great video Peter could you do an updated video I'm only seeing a few mite now and I did see one crawling out of his heat pits ---> the prevent a mite was $30 dollars nix was $23 for 2 bottles Thax for a great video on prevention on mites and mite control
Thank you for this. How can I feed my snakes while treating? This is the first time in 25 years that I had to deal with this. However, this method is definitely working.
Going to mix this up and start using it tonight to get rid of the mite problem I just discovered I had... I'll update in a couple weeks when I know if it works! I hope so!
Hey I have provent a mite but I wanna try this method because I agree Pam is a little harsh and I have around 80 ball pythons and unfortunately have to treat everyone so this method has never caused any problems or had any ill effects on any ball pythons you did this treatment with ?
What about if I’m buying my very first snake/reptile? Do I not need to bother spraying it for the quarantine preventative purposes but simply check it over for mites & keep my eyes out if I ever notice anything...?
Great video very informative. I am just curious as to how long you feel this "nix mix" will last after mixing before it loses its potency or stops being effective. Thanks
One thing I’m confused on the spray and nix are both permethrin Is it because u concentrate it that makes so ur not having problems with it in the head mouth eyes And they sprays just so much stronger and will kill the snake ?????
Thanks for the upload. I just brought a boa home that has mites. Gonna try this method, wondering how long the diluted solution can be stored for? I probably wont use much because I only have 3 snakes
What about the smell you can smell for days after treatment you can smell it for days after the treatment even if you wash it after you do it and that's not going to hurt them that smell
24 hours would be a little excessive. You can leave it out however long you feel comfortable with, while not depriving the snake of water for too long. Because I use the PVC coupler/deli cup method for water bowls, I feel like a quick wash with scalding water is enough to knock any mites off of the very smooth surface, and of course you'd use a fresh deli cup when you put the water back in. I would avoid spraying the dish, just makes me paranoid getting chemicals near the snakes drinking water. The sides of the dish would likely get some on it anyways from the snake moving around and rubbing against it. This also means it would transfer some into the water itself so changing every day is preferable.
I'm not sure about this product on hatchling, but I know if your snake is under 200 grams, using a hand sanitizer application directly or dipping them in a dawn dish soap and water solution will help!

Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the information. I appreciate your efforts.
great video your snake room looks awesome

But what about tank furnishings for those of us with show enclosures? Do we just spray and pray or do we spray and it kills on tank furnishing ect.

Also do u recommend soaking each snake before doing this nix treatment or is that not necessary
thanks for the info
Ty so much I need to try this lice cream
Would you spray nix on the bedding ?
Great video. I had terrible luck with Nix. Nice Bullsnake. What color is that?
Wow very helpful thank you
Cool and informative video :)!
It puts the creme on its skin or else it gets the hose again
Thanks for the video
So you just let it dry on the snake and enclosure?
What about if I’m buying my very first snake/reptile? Do I not need to bother spraying it for the quarantine preventative purposes but simply check it over for mites & keep my eyes out if I ever notice anything...?
Can u use lice spray to?
Great video very informative. I am just curious as to how long you feel this "nix mix" will last after mixing before it loses its potency or stops being effective. Thanks
I believe if stored covered and away from light it should stay potent for at least 2-3 years.

When stored in a cool dark place it can remain active for years.
Peter Williams Reptiles ok awesome thanks! Just subbed :)

good vid, i used PAM before and i dont like it. just me, nix on the other hand is amazing 3-4 treatments and all gone.
Do you have to rinse the solution off of the snake at any point?
No.
i have a question shouldnt the water bowl be added 24 hours later ? and should the water bowl be sprayed with nix also ?
24 hours would be a little excessive. You can leave it out however long you feel comfortable with, while not depriving the snake of water for too long.

Peter Williams can I use nix on 4month old snake?
Depending on the species I would be careful but if ball pythons yes.
Can I use this method on hatchling snakes for prevention? About 7 months old? I know many methods are too harsh for smaller or younger snakes.
I'm not sure about this product on hatchling, but I know if your snake is under 200 grams, using a hand sanitizer application directly or dipping them in a dawn dish soap and water solution will help!
Oh but I do see he says it's not unsafe for hatchlings 😊
does it have to be 4 liters of water? can it be a gallon?
???
I do 1 gallon
All I'm seeing is the "creme rinse" not the "cream rinse apres-shampoo"
I agree with all , except you should remove the water dish for a minimum of 24 hours so they Cant soak . And then bring it back
