But you can use Nix conditioner (Diluted) on the snake,in a spray bottle, as well as humans and babies. You can't use nix spray on humans either, I guess they are different.
I don't mean to be blunt but given your situation I'm going to go ahead and say no, no you can't.
I'm not saying that to be mean - though I realise it probably sounds that way.
I just didn't want someone reading this thread in the future to read that and go away and repeat this situation.

Boas can have it for a long time and not show any symptoms - but it generally kills ball pythons inside three or four weeks from all I have read.
If he has had the snake for two months and doesn't have any boas in his house to share mites with then it shouldn't be possible for it to be IBD.
Unless he keeps going back to the store and is bringing new mites back with him?
