i got mites once... from the neighbor kids. there snake was being eaten alive apparently. so i told them what to do and let there father barrow my pam. i hope its doing much better. he returned the pam so im assuming.
a bath with some tepid water with some dish soap is a must. its extremely reliving to the snakes. even if your snake hates water it will love this bath if it has mites i guarantee it. my BP hates water. absolutely wants nothing to do with being in it. unless he has mites then he cant be happier to sit in a tub and soak.
Tepid is just the temperature right? and yea i've dealt with snakes for about 8 years and i've never had mites until i decided to go to petco for a snake..
