thanx everyone have managed to get some stuff to get rid of the mites today,so have sprayed him and completley emptied his viv and done that too the washed him is water. loads of red mites came off, we have put white kitchen roll in the viv now we have been told to do him every 3 days till all the mites have gone.this advice has been invaluable from the people who own CRITTERS at hindley, in wigan.im so glad we went today or we may have had a dead pallid agama on our hands.we also have accuired a corn snake yesterday, our collection is growing by the month!!! so me and hubby are trying to learn as much as poss as soon as poss.phew!!!. luv cathx
