I have used them before with success, but as WW says, you need plenty of bedding etc. as they aren't good climbers, and if your vivs are as big as you say, you will need two tubs!

it states in the thread everything you need to do...if you want to try other things then dont use the defender mites because all alternative methods will kill the snake mites and the defender mites
