I sprayed his enclosure with JurassiMite and rubbed it on his entire body with a towel. That stuff really seemed to work within 3-4 days. So I've only had my snake for a month, and I'm still watching for more mites so I have him on paper towels. He's been on paper towels for a few weeks, so far, I notice nothing on him or in the enclosure (and in the water dish). I check him daily for any mites underneath the scales and ones that could be running around on him but I haven't seen any. I don't see any mites on my other snakes either, as I have been checking them daily as well especially my other BP.

I always get my BP's from one good, small time local breeder and I still do at least a 3 month QT time, minamal. doesn't matter how healthy they look! Mites are hard to see and something like RI you can't see until its too late! Very important to do a proper QT.
