I have done extensive research for over a month now and I still need HELP ! PLEASE! My brother (16) got a hatchling ball python (from petco) that had mites. I removed her from her tank and put her in a plastic container with paper towel and a new water dish. I soaked everything in a vinegar hot water bath, then froze everything, boiled it in water, washed with dawn soap. I cleaned her tank and lid and used reptile relief. I read that she is too young/small for chemicals so I gave her dawn baths. Once I thought I got rid of them all I put her back in her tank (10 days ish). I froze the new substrate before putting it in her tank. Everything was great she was finally eating (she refused to eat (frozen pinkys petco said she was eating)), then about a month later I saw a mite on her again and she's soaking in her water dish all the time. The dawn baths dried her out so much ( yes I gave her plain baths to try to rehydrate her). I've seen a lot of people from the uk use predator mites to get rid of snake mites naturally. Is this an option? What else can I do? Please help! We've had her for about 2 months when we got her she weighed 100g, now she weighs Now that she has been eating she weighs 135 grams. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
