my snake has mites but doesnt soak?

i recently found mites on my snake, and a lot of people say that he will soak alot but he has never been in his water bowel ive provided him with different sizes but still no the humidty is 61-70% and the temp is 85-92% any ideas if this is normal?

They soak in an attempt to get the mites off. If you caught them early enough you might not see him soaking.

ye the second i saw the mite i treated it within half hour hopefully there are gone already?

That isn't necessarily the case. There might be very few or you might have killed all of the live mites but there might still be eggs that hatch. Make sure you treat everything again according to the directions on your mite killer spray.

If you haven't treated with anything other than water, you need to. Buy a bottle of Provent-A-Mite (PAM - not the cooking spray!), read the instructions carefully, and treat your snake.

A couple quick forum searches will also help you with methods of ridding your snake of mites.
