I had mites with my 2nd Bp, didn't see any when i picked him out at the pet store, but 2 days later, his tank was crawling.


I used reptile relief to kill the mites, then was told by my vet(just loves it when i bring the snakes too him) to soak him 15 minutes a day in a small container,
containing a light mixture of betadine and warm water, enough that he could only keep his head out of the water. This helps too clean out any dead tissue or mites out from under the scales

You have allready killed the mites, now it's the healing process--

I chose to use the mineral oil on his eyes and heat traps since they too were full of mites

anyway, he also began shedding individual scales all over--rest assured that after his next shed, all was normal.

I know how you feel, i felt like i was torturing him too--just make sure to spend some "friendly" time after each treatment--you will regain his trust.

GOOD LUCK!!

OOOPS---just make sure you keep him quarantined for 30 days after you know there are no more mites.
