Do a search on here for mites. There was a thread about using dawn for a bath.
You need to get PAM (not cooking spray) Prevent a mite. I think you can also use the head lice spray in a pinch. Just search on here for mites.

No need for a vet...just treat the mites...like was said, do a search and you'll find plenty of info...

You need to clean everything in the enclosure, they can also live around your house too.
Then you need to treat with (what people here like to use) PAM or (what I have used) Natural Chemistry.

Go to walmart, get a can of equate lice bedding spray.

Clean enclosure, and spray lightly with equate, let dry for at least an hour. spray perimeter around enclosure also.

Man I'm running slow today:confused::confused:

Prevent a mite. Its not very expensive. Heck even that crappy petco might have it. Just search for it online and have it shipped to you. Alot of people think u only get mites if u leave ur enclosures dirty which is not the case. I had them once and that prevent a mite took care of them quick fast and in a hurry

Ok I will look for the Pam and if I can't find it I'll try the dawn soak and the lice bed spray. I thank y'all soo much y'all are so fast getting people the answers they need. Thanks again and I'm sure little apophis thanks you as well!

Could someone please give me a rundown on the cleaning procedure for the mites? And is Pam the only thing that works because I have no credit card to order it the only thing I can find close is zoo med mite off?

Zoo med SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
See my post above;)
I know it works because one of our rescues was infested
