really unsure which of these to go for the more i read the more confused i get

from what ive read callingtons requires repeat applications as it does not kill the eggs

I dont quite understand whether the snake needs to be sprayed with callingtons for it to work or if this is safe ???

provent a mite good for 30 days so could kill the mites and eggs with one spraying. snake can definetly not cannot be sprayed.

anyone had any success with these as they seem like the two best options

as for how to use either of these, this is what i think i will need to do please correct me if im wrong

substrate, branches decor etc removed

viv and branches etc disinfected

use paper towels for substrate decor kept to a minimum

viv sprayed with callingtons or provent a mite

left for 1-2 hours with the room well ventilated

snake put back into the viv

water removed for 1-2 days
