BK popped up on the scene a while back as the end all- cure all for mites & ticks on reptiles.
Well, it will kill some straight out, smaller lizards like leos, fattails etc and it has been reported by some, that it has killed larger animals as well.
Even then, if killing the animal outright does not occur, there has been no study that I am aware of on the long term exposure on any reptile.
Even some chemicals that are reletively safe on boids for treating mites, can and will kill other snakes, such as pit vipers (ivermectin)
No need to take the risks if ya ask me as there are many ways to get rid of mites and ticks.
I use Sawyers tick spray, but onoly in treating the cages and substrates. Never directly on the animals or allowing them to breathe the vapors.
