    What is your preferred method for snake mite treatment?

    What is yalls preferred method for murdering snake mites? I found one with a very mild case, but I want to treat them all just to be safe.


    Jason's Exotic Reptiles showed a pretty effective looking method of Reptile Spray the snake every few days (there are other details of course, just shortening it here). I'll toss out the substrate in all of my snake cages and disinfect everything and leave them on paper towels until it's all taken care of for a few weeks.


    I saw Snake Discovery's ivermectin method but a few of my snakes are probably too small for that to be done safely.


    I suppose after vacuuming out all the substrate, I could purchase a small garment steamer from Wal Mart to blast some steam onto the surfaces of the enclosures and their hides and water bowls. I hear that steam is pretty damn good at killing the mite and eggs.

    I don't have just one method, I have a full arsenal of weaponry to use against mites.
