i saw in the internet that a betadine (povidone iodine) bath helps kill mites any of you done this method?
People normally notice mites when they are handing their snake, or they see dead ones in the water bowl.

Betadine will kill some of the mites on your snake, but again, it does nothing for the mites in and around the cage or mite eggs. PAM seems to be the only thing effective in killing mites and their eggs. Everything else, you get another infestation as soon as the eggs hatch.
