Havent tried Frontline yet, but Provent a Mite was brilliant. You can mail order it of Glenn at Jungle Phase!!

I go for the Ardap method too.

Ardap for the viv - just make sure you ventilate out the fumes. Tepid water bath with a few drops of olive oil in it for snakey :) Easy treatment for all your snakes :)
