Ok my baby has mites.

I researched on tons of webpages and kinda put it all together on what to do.

I removed everything from the tank.
Threw away all substrate.
Baked the hides and water dish to 250* in the oven for 20 minutes.
I filled the tank up with a water and diluted bleach... Let it set for 1 hour. drained it, scrubbed it down with antibacterial spray.

I stored my snake in a rubbermaid with enough water that her entire body was covered and she had to lift her head out. I put a small mixture of iodine in the water to get it a faint color of tea.. let her sit for an hour. i rubber her scales down and checked her bottom scales.

I removed her, put her in water to rinse it off. I tried her and then rubbed her down with a mineral oil based shed EZ stuff.


Woke up this morning and found 3 mites on her crawling around.


Does the first time usually not fix the problem? or does it usually take a few times.. And am i doing the right stuff?
