4 years ago when TH-cam would show the dislikes 😭
😂
Emily seems so shy compared to now! She's so nervous! It feels odd to see 😂
Now she runs around with hatchets builds businesses, and takes care of MANY animal's! She it truly amazing (and ed too I guess 😜)
l know right? l'm watching this 6 years after this video was posted and it's really weird compared to now!
Frr, she's so much more confident and well known now
I've owned snakes for years and tried every mite remedy there is. The best method I know of, and this is widely used, are No Pest Strips. Also called Vapona strips. Get a small plastic container and cut up the yellow strip and put what you need in the container. Small holes cut in the top of course. The amount you use depends on the size of the snake and the enclosure. The fumes from the strip will penetrate everywhere in the cage and everywhere on the snake. Other methods like the one in this video don't kill all the mites. They lay eggs on the snake, especially under the scales around their eyes.
You must be careful with this method. Place it in the cage for just a few hours at a time. Remove it and see if you've gotten rid of all the mites. If not, use a little more and put it in a bit longer. It's worked for me 100% of the time and has never killed any of my snakes or even made them sick. Patience is the key. Go slow and work your way up. Never feed the snake during this time and change the water twice a day. This is a tried and true method and always works. But it is possible to kill the snake if not done properly. I'm sure one can google this method for more information. Hope it helps!
Proper usage is dependent on (1) using a bubble gum-size piece (a 0.2 inch x 2-inch [6 mm x 5-cm] piece cut off of the end of the strip) per 10 cubic feet (283 cubic decimeters), (2) avoiding direct contact with the reptile by placing the piece in a small container with holes, (3) using a strip piece two or three times weekly for six to eight weeks for only two to three hours at a time, and (4) allowing for ventilation in the cage.
It worked 35 years ago . I remember using this in Ireland /UK years ago. Good advice. Use rubber gloves. Thanks
Did the same with a younger ball python about ten years ago. Nothing else would work. I was terrified it would kill her or make her sick. There was a massive change in just a single day. And the snake acted so much more at ease in just that one day. I would still hesitate to use this method often though as no way can it be good for them. But after every other option fails this one does work.
i don't have a snake but it's so educational so if i do one day OWN a snake i would know how to treat them and i can even come back to refresh my memory on how to ! thank you! i honestly really want a snake but i want a snake when i leave my parent's house. so.. and i also have a mindset on non-venomous
Can you do a video to show how to identify mites on snakes next time you have one you are treating
They're honesty kinda easy to see tbh. I just got a snake and I never saw mites before but I knew what they were instantly. They are most often under the scales so the scales of the snake will be pushed up with a black or dark greenish thing under it.
I know what they look like but I meant for everyone that doesn't know
Omg she is so more enthusiastic now than than she is in this video
She seems so much more scared here😂
Very informative! I get so excited when I see a new video from you guys. I guess I needed more though so I am rewatching some of your videos. 😁
Just watched your how to check out a snake's health when buying one and you mentioned this video. I think you did a pretty good job for your first video.
I just got my first snake off Craigslist and he has mites... treating them has been awful 😩
Bad choice getting a snake off Craigslist.
Tony Bucks right!
Summer Folster *That sucks.*
^^Edit ; Oof. Hi, If you read this... I wasted your time ^•^
Tony Bucks it is a bad choice but at least the snake will most likely have a better home now
Omg I’m doing the same thing rn damn craigslist
I think it would be great if you added that link to your updated video to the beginning of this video rather than the end. Love the videos I just stumbled across this one. I'm a new snake owner and I like the channel! You guys are great
I like this idea! Got mites from a show and used provent a mite . . . Poisoned our new baby. She's okay now, Dawn is amazing.
We got our first case of mites and this video has been super helpful. I just have one question. Can you feed while treating for mites? When would be the best time to do this? This is just all new to me.
I have been watching this channel for like 6 months now and I'm just watching this one now but anyway am I the only one that thinks Emily has improved her videos li,e crazy not saying this one is bad but I jut think it's pretty cool
Can you please attach a link where I can find the ivermectin solution you use. My boa has a bad case of mites. Thank you!

Try a farm store
I watched this video repeatedly when I was planning to get a snake, thank god he didn't have them but I am ready if he does!
Amazing show .l love lt
Sentfrom lexie
😄
I love your videos
LOVE SNAKES :-D
Szczerbatek Smok same
So lovely.
Great advise
I thought the whole time she was saying snake bites I was like what about the bite why are you doing that 😂
What of the snake you own doesn't get bigger than 18 inches?
Herping Rascals then I'd stick with other methods like the commercial products (shown at the beginning) and/or baths.
Herping Rascals I
I want to get a snake but my mom hates them. I have been showing her your videos to try to change her mind
You said repeat on day 7 how many times should you repeat these steps for a month or what would you recommend?
thank u for the great info!
Hillbilly Herper this info sucks. There is way cheaper ways than this.
So? She is trying to give some info that she does. And she is wonderful at it
What is the measurement of that cap? I've always used the reptile spray and I'm pretty severely allergic to it. Have to go do breathing treatments after every time I use it. Desperate for an effective and safe alternative!
I used 10ml of ivermectin to a full spray bottle of water
Wow it's so weird to see Emily in the earlier videos now! I was wondering if you have a mite treatment for amphibians? Could I maybe do it without the dawn or something? Thanks!
Hey, Emily! I need your help. I have a baby ball python, about just a little over 17 inches long, she has mites. I just got her and have already quarantined her. So what I would like to ask, is it safe for me to use your method for getting rid of the mites, since she is still so small? If not could you recommend a different method? I really hope you see this and answer bc I don't trust any of the vets around, none of them specialize in reptiles around here. Thank you in advance! :)
For her size, I suggest treating her like in the video but don't rub the ivermectin mixture on her body. Just mist the paper towels, and keep them moist throughout treatment.
Snake Discovery thanks for the help! What kind of dish soap should I get or does it matter? Is there any soap I absolutely should not use? I don't have the brand available you used.
I just found mites on my Western Hognose! Could I use this on him? He is only 6-7 months old! Do you have any suggestions
Back many, many moons ago I was advised to use a product called "Shell No Pest Strip" to get rid of my snakes mites. Interesting to see what is used these days.
I love your chanle
Unfortunately, $40 for Ivermectin is quite cheap, actually. I have a tube of 1% Ivermectin (Soolantra) cream, which I use to treat pore mites (funnily enough, this stuff works for that, in addition to blood/snake mites). That said, the 45g tube of medication cost me well over $200 at the pharmacy. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should look into getting some husbandry-grade stuff for my face instead of the pharmacy-grade. xP
You sound bored in this old video but it is still great
2019 anyone
Can you please do more western hog see videos and do you think their a good first time snake
Hognose snakes are a great first snake! They stay small, are easy to setup, and the only problem some people have is that they can be picky eaters. But so can ball pythons, so I'd still recommend a hog anyday :)
Snake Discovery thanks !!!
What kind of snake is good for a first pet snake
Slimey Ounicorns ball python
Slimey Ounicorns corn snake
ball python those are my starter snakes they are great
A western hognose
Avery Linden226 western hognose!They dont bite unless they mistake you for food which is rare
This was my first video I watched and sixth one 🥳🥳🙄
Snakes are interesting
What causes the more issue in the first place are they in some live feeders?
Can you feed your snake while doing this? I am starting this today, a Thursday and I usually feed on Sundays.
What do mites look like
I had the same question but I ended up searching into them, they are reeeeally tiny but noticable, they are kinda like black flecks on scales. Up close they look almost like tiny ticks
What techniques would be used for a smaller snake?? I just got a baby ball python and it has mites!!!
I know this is not about birds but can u use it for parrots..?😉im justdoing some things before i get one..😊
Now I have a baby corn snake and he's less than 18 inches and I have no clue if he has mites because I took my two fingers and went down his back and I got tiny tiny tiny little black dots but I'm not 100% sure if they're mites or not I think he just might be dirty I have no idea should I give him a bath or what
can you use injectable ivermectin in this solution as well?
Are you still alive
how do you know they have mites?
Hi Emily! My ivermectin isn't the same as yours, do you know the actual dosage?
2024 your right compared to that time
I love snakes 🐍🐍🐍🐍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow I can't believe how Emily has grown during snake Discovery wait a minute is that BRAD
Is this okay to use for a western hognose?
Omg she Sounds way more Better on camera
I have to snakes in one cage and today i was holding them and i see this mite. So my snake got mites from a hut that a differnt snake have with mites so i am nervous.
I have that I went to the bottom of all there videos and this was 4 years old
Where do snakes get snake mites at?
Damn its so funny to see how shy in this vid damn this is old xD
What size is the cap?
Keep in mind that ivermectin is easy to over dose, especially because it's concentrated for cattle.
What do you do about snakes under that 18in mark that have mites
Ily
What are mites?
How much water?
Is it the 1% solutionyou use?
link of the medicine please
What do you do when your snake regurgitates it's food?
Dont know if the situation is the same but if the snake regurgitates its food dont offer for a week or two and then when you do it offer food again, make it half the size of their body. A slight amount bigger each feeding until you get to the roundness of their body again. It regurgitated either from stress from handling after a meal or the meal was a little too big. Dont handle for 2 days after feeding and black out the sides of the enclosure for a while so they dont feel as stressed or exposed. Hope i helped.
I don't have any danger noodles, so I only learned about snake bites from my friend d who had 3 or 4. One got mites and when he found out he made it seem like a death sentence. So now I'm a little confused.
Not a death sentence but definitely could be and can cause serious problems if not treated within time. Also he’s dealing with what I’m dealing with. Breaking down and cleaning 5 cages. And quarantining snakes.
Question. What do mites look like?
They are tiny black dots that move around pretty much all the time
Watching in 2022, and wondering if 2017 Emily could have ever imagined what would have happened with Ivermectin?
Or for that matter, what would happen to this channel? 😁🤩😺💯
How do u know if they have mites?
This is her first video but no slack cut
So how do I treat snake mites on baby’s? Just bought a baby boa with mites :(
Hi
-gasp!- first video with outro music!!
Wow she had that how's for that long?!?!? 😳😱😯
Pretty sure shes had it for 6 years
Dish soap is used to break the surface tension of the water so the mites can't survive inside of any air bubbles which may be in the water- not to make the mites slide off the snake
Is that brad
*If your wearing ear phones and don’t want to hear the back round noise then take out your left earphone (your welcome)*

2020 anyone?
Ye
is this jaunt
2020 anyone
Actually you didn't name the only quality product that works, Provent-a-Mite.
Emily hi, snakes are not something i come in contact on a regular basis. I have had cobras and garden snakes come to my lawn. I have no idea weather a snake is venomous or not. For me, the only good snake is a dead snake, sorry. How can i deter snakes from coming to my lawn. Does dusting a layer of sulfur keep them away? What works?? I rather have wild weasels hanging around than snakes.
I hate corn snakes
