I have a solomoh island skink. This time of year, she gets mites. I need sugestions!?
I have bathed her frequently during the week. Bleach her aquarium. I have bought the De Flea reptile relief and the discs for bird mites. She is on news paper. No more bark or sand. I had friend today tell me to use 7 dust. He swears by it. I am scrared to death. She is my pride and joy. I need to get rid of the mites and save my Lola. I am open to suggestions. Please help.
(spelling error) She is a solomon Island skink. AKA prehensile tale skink.
I spoke with the director of our local wildlife center who has raised skinks for many years as pets. She advised that it is not safe to use 7 dust on a skink. 7 dust is very strong and we only use it for our wild pelicans that come in to the center either sick or injured. Those are huge birds and we only use a very small pinch of 7 dust on our pelicans to get rid of mites. If you use 7 dust on your skink it could possibly kill it.
If you can find anyone who has Ivermectin, you can use one and I mean only one little drop of it. Place the drop in the center of the skinks back. Ivermection is also strong and this is why only one drop is to be used. This has worked for her skinks.
You can also go to a pet store or pet smart and buy a spray specifically designed for reptiles to get rid of mites. Flea spray will not get rid of mites on skinks.Skinks do not get fleas.
If either of these two suggestions do not work, then you will need to bring your skink to the vet for further medicine to get rid of the mites. I know that the ivermectin will work as it has worked on her skinks with no problems when properly used. If none of your friends have any ivermectin, you can purchase this at any local feed store for farm animals.
Hope this helps
