Thanks everybody! I will get some PAM.
I was reading this article
http://www.anapsid.org/mites.html
which seems to have some pretty good info; I've always trusted Anapsid.org. This article recommends Bedatine baths. Where might I find Bedatine? It also recommends heating the enclosure to well over 100*. If I close the tub (with Sangre in a separate enclosure, of course) and leave it out in the sun, the inside will well exceed 120*. I think I'll try that tomorrow.
And what do you think about mite origins? I know there is no set-in-stone evidence of where they originate, but I have no idea how Sangre could have gotten them. He is captive bred, came from The Blood Line, and he definitely didn't have mites when I got him. The only think I can think of is the one time I took him outside and let him crawl around in the grass. I'm in the western US. Is it possible for him to pick up some type of external parasite here?
