Mite Off totally doesn't work. Not even for temporary relief. My Jackson recently had mites, and they are completely eradicated now. I wouldn't say it's no big deal, but it is easily treatable. I am a total newbie! The wonderful people on here gave great advice on the subject.
Ok, for temp relief for your snake, give him a Dawn bath with just a drop of the dishsoap. I kinda swished it around a little to make light bubbleage. Just put it about as high as the snakes body so that he doesn't have to swim to keep his head up. (Do make sure to dunk his head in, though.) That drowned alot of mites, I could see them when I emptied the bowl. He had been sitting in his water dish and being irritable for days, after that bath there was a noticeable change in his disposition.
While he's soaking, you can clean out his tank with bleach and any of his decor and hides. Get all corners and crevices. Rinse REALLY well with hot water. I boiled his wooden stuff.
I also ordered the PAM, which I think took care of the problem totally. There are no more mites in my tank.

I used natural chemistry for a while, but our snakes were so badly infested that it had trouble keeping up. It's safer which is nice, but Prevent a Mite completely destroyed the mites faster than anything I have ever seen before! I'm sure with patience the natural chemistry would have worked, PAM was just faster for us.
