Ok, I got home from work this morning and went to check on my snakes and low and behold my new adoption Cliodna appears to have mites. I never noticed this yesterday when I fed here. as I moved her from her tank to feeding tub and back to her tank. So it is almost as if they appeared overnight.

Anyways I have a question. Where can I get this Prevent-a-mite I read about on the forum? Also from what I read that stuff is not to be sprayed directly on to the animal just in the cage and furniture, am I correct?

In the meantime I called an emergency clinic here and was told to do the following and I want to know if you guys agree with this
A: Take all the wood furniture and bake it in the oven at 350 for 15-20 mins.
B: Wash the tanks out with scalding hot water.
C: Q-tip and saline to try and remove the mites from in and around the eye area.
D: Rub the body of the snake (except the head) with vegatable oil wait 24 hours, then soak her, then reapply oil for another 24 and soak again.

Has anyone heard of these remedies and do they work or will they work while I am waiting to get the Prevent A Mite?

Also any advice or help on getting some stubborn or hard to get mites out from the eye area?

I think the mites may have came from a half wood log I had as her tank is a simple rubbermaid bin with papertowels as bedding and a plastic waterbowl. Also looks like this is the only one that has them so far. Again any help would be much appreciated.
