The Science of Reptile Relief-
The active ingredients in De Flea products work together to soften the waxy exoskeleton of fleas, ticks, lice, mites and other insects. Once the insect's armor has been penetrated, its internal organs are saturated and the insect quickly bursts. De Flea products work for all stages of an insect's life cycle: eggs, larvae, pupae and adult - effectively eliminating all mites and eggs from the cage on contact.

Have you ever used Reptile Relief or are you just regurgitating what the website or bottle claims to do? I have personal experience in using Reptile Relief when I brought home my first snake in 2007. She came from Petco with a complimentary mite infestation. I used Reptile Relief for two months and never was able to get rid of them. I ordered a can of Provent-a-Mite and they were gone after a single treatment.

I was also curious if the OP heard mineral water, then soaked the snake in mineral oil. As for mite treatment, do as Kaorte said, a soak in water with a drop or two of dish soap while you're waiting for a can of Provent-a-Mite to be shipped.
