Help! Oh please! Please! Help!

I found mites on my blood python when I was feeding him and then checked on my other snakes and found one on my spider ball python. I'm panicing! Can someone PLEASE go over the steps I can do now to help it? They are all in a rack so they might all have it now?

i would order some pam

Clean out all the tubs and disinfect the rack as best you can. Switch your substrate to paper towels if you haven't already.

If you want you can also gently wipe off your snakes with a paper towel. That sometimes will get a few off.

Other then that, wait for the pam and follow the directions on the can.

Temporarily soak the snakes in luke warm water with a drop of soap (to break the tension) to get some of the mites off.
Get PAM and use it on the enclosure, follow the directions precisely. Do not use it on the snake.

You can go to your nearest Petco and buy some "mite Off" for like $7 or so and it really works!!!!!

X2...

You already have a rack full of mite covered snakes. Use a proper mite killer and get rid of them.

Next time you will know to treat every new snake AS it comes into your house and before it goes into your rack, and to follow proper QT.
