Aarghhh....I hate these things!

I just had my first encounter with the 'M' word. Can you guess what it is?.......yep, mites! :mad: I've pretty much decided that I'm not their biggest fan. For those of you that don't know I just got my first corn snake about a week ago. Her name is Rugby and she is the cutest little thing. :aww: I fed her last night for the first time with no problems but I thought I saw a tiny little black speck on her. Just to be on the safe side I purchased some mite spray today while I was working. When I checked on her a little while ago she had 4 of these things underneath the scales right behind her head. As aggravated as I was I can only imagine how she felt. I gave her a soak and managed to get the mites off of her (the ones I could see anyway) and applied a very small amount of the mite spray. She is now in a small Steralite with paper towels as a substrate until I can clean her other home. Is there anything else I can/should be doing for her? I just want my little one to be healthy and happy....:love:
Sorry for such a long post everyone....I just needed to vent a little bit.:weirdface

I got a can of provent-a-mite. used it as it said to, and wiped all around the cages, and i havnt seen a mite since. Make sure you scrub everything down, and soak or bake any wood/branches.

Ugh that's horrible....I know someone who actually gave up keeping snakes all together because of mites =( Good luck getting rid of them
