Nix Creme Rinse for Mites
Nix Creme Rinse for Mites
Nix as a treatment for Reptile Mites (Ophionyssus natricis).
Mites are an ectoparasite that prey on the blood of reptiles but most commonly found on snakes. They are not fatal to the animal if found in small numbers but nevertheless must be treated and eradicated to prevent the numbers from spreading. Reptiles mites are highly contagious to other reptiles but not to humans or other mammal pets.
There are many methods of eradication all with debatable effectiveness versus toxicity of the product being used. Nix is commercially available as a children's lice shampoo with very low toxicity allowance which is why it is commonly used for children's lice. When searched online, there exists popular discussions about the toxicity of Nix and the ill effects on reptiles but in all of these cases, the product was used without dilution and left for too long of a time period on the animal.
Please see recommended guideline below in the Care Sheet section for use on infested reptiles. These are to be used as a guideline only and common sense and good judgement on the part of the user is expected for the effectiveness to be in full.

Our Customer Feedback
Don’t take our word for it. Trust our customers
Personally my favorite reptile store. I don't typically buy any animals from pet shops but I do buy my feeders and reptile merchandise here. I like coming here mainly due to the staff. The girls that work there are always friendly and welcome my constant chatting. I like talking about the hobby as I keep so many reptiles. I have been to places that really don't have the time to talk. It's kept me coming back. The place is clean, stocked with tons of things we all need and really it's a great place all around to even just visit. Keep up the fantastic work all.
I ordered a Male Veiled Translucent Chameleon and 100 crickets from All Reptiles. Their packaging and Super fast shipping to Calgary are A+ top notch! Everything arrived alive and healthy and happy. Karen their reptile specialist was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet reptile anywhere in Canada. He is already starting his first shed with me and growing fast.
We spent 2 hours with David, he was super helpful, purchased critter cage, natural materials for the space with a leopard gecko (molten lavender). 1000 live crickets and everything needed to get our new pet Queso set up. They also do boarding services, so no worries about a solution for our new friend if we go away. Our 11 year old daughter is so happy with the new addition to our family!
