Mite Off doesn't work. It is worthless. I have only brought in one snake that had mites and the vet argued with me also. The vet said he didn't have mites but I knew he did. I had to catch a mite and use a magnifying glass and flashlight to see the markings, then I looked up the snake mite pictures and sure enough, exact same thing. However, the vet promised me there were no mites...lol
I use Provent-a-Mite (PAM) also. It is awesome, just make sure you go by the directions as it is a pesticide.
For me, I had to order PAM and it took a week to get to me since it had to be shipped ground. I had 2 snake cages. Everyday, I would switch the snake cage out. The one outside would be filled to the brim with water and bleach and left outside in the sun (summer time also). I would clean the other cage out while my snake was soaking in a tub full of warm water. When the cage was ready, I would put the snake back in the cage until the next day and start the process over again. Needless to say, I only needed 1 PAM treatment and between my paranoid daily cleanings and quarantine, none of my other snakes ever got them.
Good luck.
