Thanks! We cleaned and sprayed her tank and gave her two good soaks today so I'm hoping they won't come back
We've had her about a month now, she's been eating weekly and does really well with being handled so far. I'm so happy I made the decision to get my first ball I just hate those damn mites!

Re: First ball python
Great looking snake! Welcome to an awesome hobby.
On the mite issue, honestly...they are a nasty thing to get rid of completely since they can crawl out of the cage, lay eggs, then crawl back in. A wash of the cage and snake might not eradicate it.
What you need is called Provent a Mite. It lasts on the cage for a solid month, so the critters can't come back in. Look it up and order some. It took care of our problem easily!

I sprayed her tank with a spray containing similar ingredients because I live in NYS and Provent A Mite is illegal here you can't even get it shipped here. Also vacuumed the whole room she's in, washed all linens nearby including the curtains behind her tank, etc

Nice snake, love the dark snakes. I don't know anything about mites, but good luck hope you was able to get rid of them.

Re: First ball python
Ah, that sucks! One thing you can do is use flea powder on the carpet too, and if you do research online there are some home remedies, like spraying lemon juice on the carpet. But, hopefully they are all gone anyway. Yay!

Don't forget about diatomaceous earth. It's very effective without the risk of tracking chemicals all over the house.
