Hello all, I got my ball python Norman in January and have found this forum really helpful in getting started! I wanted to ask some advice on snake mites as I’ve been dealing with them for the past 6 weeks. He’s been on a minimal set up of newspaper, a couple hides and bowl. I’ve been using callingtons mite spray for the enclosure along with beaphar for direct treatment. This has been effective and he’s been mite free for 2 weeks as far as I can see! My main question really was when will it be safe to replace his substrate and get him back to a normal routine? I don’t want to jump the gun early and end up back to square one but I hate seeing his viv so bare! I’ve also struggled with maintaining a suitable humidity and am having to mist multiple times a day without the substrate so the sooner I can get it back in the better.
