    10. What do snake mites look like? How do I get rid of them?

    Snake mites are small black or reddish dots that you may see crawling around your python's skin. Look especially around the eyes, the groove in the snake's skin, and around the vent area. The very best way to get rid of mites is with Provent-a-Mite which can be ordered online or bought at some reptile specialty shops. Discard all wood or exceptionally pourous cage decorations and use newspaper or paper towels as substrate until the mites are gone. Soaking your snake, or products like Reptile Relief will help get rid of the visible mites, but Provent-a-Mite will kill the eggs you can’t see.

    Here you go. Is it ok to cut and paste from caresheets? Or should I just provide the link?

    If you have snake mites get PAM Provent A Mite http://www.pro-products.com/index.ph...d=53&Itemid=59 and treat all your snake's enclosures

    PAM is efficient and will eradicate mites at all stages of development.
