Tiny red mites!!

Posted by Zilla on July 02, 2001 at 14:08:04:

I just noticed today that my new iguana, Zilla, has tiny red mites running up and down his/her body. I've been doing hours of research on raising iguana's correctly and I want to make sure to take the right measures in getting rid of these mites.

Please help!

I'm using Repti-Bark substrate in a 20 Gallon Tank. Could this be the problem? I've ordered some "Reptile Desert Substrate" thats made of coconut to replace the bark.

I read an article somewhere that mentioned bathing him in a betadine solution... what is it and where can I get it?

Thanks!!
