- Welcome to Cookie's Critters.
In todays video we demonstrate how to prevent mites in your reptiles. It is important to have thorough reptile quarantine procedures in place to ensure that you don't bring home mites, bacteria and viruses from other reptile collections.
Treating any loose substrate that you bring into your home is another way of preventing an outbreak of mites in your reptile collection. It is important to do this at least 4-5 days before you intend on using the substrate so that you kill the mites at different stages of their life cycle.
Finally, wiping down your reptiles is critical in prevention of mites. We recommend "FrontLine" for cats and dogs. Spray directly onto a piece of paper towel and wipe the reptile from the base of the head down, do not wipe on the face.
We are reptile breeders in Western Sydney and this channel is to educate our customers and followers. The reptiles that we breed are Central Bearded Dragons, Pygmy Bearded dragons, Knob tail geckos, and Northern Velvet Geckos.
In the future our expansion will include Blue tongue skink morphs, carpet pythons and green tree pythons.

Cute little shoulder warmer 💕
She was very well behaved, she even waited until we were outside before she tried to wee on me 😂
nice video
Really cool video mate.!
Personal we do similar treatments 👌
Nothing's better then happy healthy reptiles
Thanks mate. We do this multiple times a year for various reasons. Pre brumation, substrate changes, quarantine and breeding. It’s so much easier than dealing with a biblical level plague. 😂
@@CookiesCritters agreed mate 👌prevention is key to happy reptiles
@@fryscritters6557 100% 👍
Thanks for this vid! Just wondering, I just found mites in my bluey’s enclosure and I’m about to go on holiday. Do you know what I can do?
😂😂 that lizard almost pooped on you 😂😂
Can I use frontline to treat the substrate as well? I can't get callington here...
Hi there can i use the Mac reptile mite insecticide spray on the substrate too? After I use it on the blue tongue ?
Yes you can use MacMite. We just prefer callington enclosure spray for the substrate.
my poor blue tongued baby is infested with mites, i cleaned everything of hers and soaked her in warm water. is there anything else i could do??
I highly recommend Taurrus LIVE Biological Mite treatment if you have mites
What is that exactly? Introducing another mite to the enclosure with the snake mites???
@@ethansevier263 yes predatory mites that eat the other mites then die off after all mites and eggs have been eaten
@@ethansevier263 they are also basically invisible to the human eye too
@@I_am_BiG_Al appreciate it will definitely look more into it
@@ethansevier263 you're welcome
do you need to do this with sand?
Sand is a very bad substrate to use because it can cause impactions, so now would be a great time to switch to something else. You might want to consider a bioactive setup.
You should have your hair down more often you look good with it down. Thank you for taking it out of the man bun
