I am not sure what kind of product you find in the UK so I will not be able to recommend anything however are you sure those are ticks?

If your friends BP has ticks I would highly recommend him to take him to an herp vet and have a fecal done.

A wild caught BP with ticks is very likely to have internal parasites as well so a fecal should be done.
