Re: Help id snake please

Yes, Looks like a Mole snake, that snake would require a permit for you to keep in Johannesburg, and if it's a wild caught you won't be able to get a permit for it.

Re: On the hunt for substrate again.

I use peat moss for all my snakes, It's R9 a block, you get a lot out of one brick. It's super absorbent, easy to clean and readily available at most nurseries. The're quite a few places in Benoni that sell it aswell.

Re: Kind way to kill rodents for snakes

I breed until I have a few hundred rodents, get a tub with two small holes in it. On for a pipe that's connected to a sodastream machine, and the other a small air hole. Then you just gas them.

Re: Spiders in snake room and vivs.

I've those scorpion spiders in my room, and they're a bliss having there, they keep all the other bugs outside. Also found a button in my shoe, not to sure what they would do to a reptile, but they've never harmed or bothered me. Ant traps do work the best as the ants take the bait back to the nest,...

Re: disinfecting a new enclosure

I'd definitely recommend F10 or diluted miltons solution, just make sure if you do you use miltons that you rinse it off properly.

Re: Advice needed on mites

I'm sure that would kill the mites quite quickly, not so sure how the scorpion will react to that though. I haven't heard of it being done before.

Re: Advice needed on mites

Thing is, I noticed the mites don't really come from substrates as much, but rather from the feeder insects which is unavoidable. I breed my own feeder roaches now and it works out much better this way if you have complete controll over everything. Sorry to hear about your scorp though, we all learn...
