I noticed Kinno had some small red dots(20 or so) on him and i took a better look and they are mites. I used to treat bluebelly lizards for mites so i have this spray that kills mites on contact. I use a qutip and apply it to them directly. You can use it on their vivs aswell. Its called Reptile Relief (Natural Chemistry) I was told it can be use on beardies its made for all reptiles. I was wondering if anyone else has used this to get rid of mites. I'm also wondering if I should treat the other beardies vivs just incase. Since all 7 get to roam around in the same areas. Its going to be a long day of scrubbing and cleaning out vivs and baking all their stuff! If anyone has any tips or advise id so love it!
If the vivs are made of glass, you can seal the tops with plastic wrap, and set that out into the sun... The high temps will kill both adults, nymphs and eggs.
Also, bleach every single item that comes out of the vivs, then rinse, then dawn, rinse and bleach again.
You will need to scrub daily until the infestation is cleared... Just what you needed to hear, right ?
