    Get a can of Provent -a- Mite and follow the directions on the side of the can. Mites will be gone before you know it.

    Use Provent-a-Mite and say goodbye to mites.

    I must say I was skeptical of PAM (Provent-A-Mite), but we used it for one of our girls we got a couple months back. We did 2 treatments two weeks apart following the directions, and have not seen a mite since .....

    i too have had this problem with vernon. and i followed advice to the letter, giving him betadine baths and finally, getting my hands on some provent-a-mite. and PAM is the solution. really good stuff. good luck with your problem. i only had to do the treatment on the tank once!

    i think PAM u have to buy online....its like $18 a can but its worth it so....

    and thats what the pet store lady told me when my snake had mites...that it was prolly the bedding....she said it could have gotten it from the mouse that i fed my snake....that i kno is not true
