Naqua Reptile Mite Treatment is a veterinary-strength ivermectin dip solution for snakes and lizards weighing over 80g.

Unlike spot-on treatments, this product is administered as a bathing dip, with the solution applied directly to the reptile's skin and scales. It treats and controls red mites, snake mites, skin mites, lice, and worms, and can also be used as a regular preventative to reduce the risk of reinfestation. The 125ml bottle provides a generous amount of solution, making it a practical and cost-effective option for reptile owners.

How to apply:

  • Gently place the animal in the bowl and wet its entire body (excluding the head) by rubbing the solution onto its skin.
  • Make sure to treat the legs, underside, and tail as well.
  • Before applying Naqua Anti Parasite Reptile Dip, ensure you remove all water from the tank, including drinking water.
  • Thoroughly clean and dry your reptile or amphibian's skin prior to the application.
  • Allow the skin to air dry; manual drying is not necessary.
  • After 60 minutes from the application, you can return water to the tank, including drinking water. For preventive measures, it's advisable to use Naqua Anti Parasite Reptile Dip regularly, every four weeks, to prevent re-infestation.

Treat the Head:

For affected areas on the head, take a cotton wool ball dampened with the product and carefully apply it to the specific regions in need. Be cautious not to let the liquid come into contact with the mouth, eyes, or nose to avoid any unwanted complications.

Red Mites

  • Sign: Tiny red or black specks visible on the skin, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and under scales, sometimes leaving a dusty residue in the water bowl
  • Importance: Red mites feed on blood and in large numbers can cause significant blood loss and anaemia, which can be life-threatening if left untreated
Snake Mites
  • Sign: Excessive soaking in water, frequent rubbing against enclosure surfaces, restlessness, and raised or lifted scales
  • Importance: Snake mites burrow beneath scales causing intense irritation, and prolonged infestations can lead to poor shedding, dehydration, and a serious decline in condition
Skin Mites
  • Sign: Visible skin irritation, redness, crusting, and difficulty shedding — shed skin may come off in patches rather than in one piece
  • Importance: Skin mites cause ongoing discomfort and can lead to secondary infections if the skin becomes damaged through repeated rubbing or incomplete shedding
Lice
  • Sign: Small white specks visible around the head and limbs, accompanied by scratching, restlessness, and general signs of irritation
  • Importance: Lice feed on skin and blood, causing persistent discomfort and, in heavier infestations, contributing to weakness and weight loss
Worms
  • Sign: Weight loss, reduced appetite, lethargy, abnormal droppings, and in some cases visible mid-body swelling
  • Importance: Internal worm infestations are difficult to detect in early stages but can cause significant damage to the digestive system and overall health if not treated
