    I've had success with the Nix method, because PAM is extremely difficult to find in Canada and I had a mite outbreak right before a trip, I had no time to pick up other commercial mite spray.

    What it is, is you go to your local drugstore and buy Nix conditioner, which is for human head lice. Then you get a gallon of distilled water and a spray bottle. You empty the tube of Nix into the water and mix it all up until it's homogeneous. Then you put some into the spray bottle. Spray on the snakes and the whole enclosure (but remove the water dish). I also removed the water dish for 24 hours so that the snakes don't soak before the Nix has had a chance to work on them. Then I repeated the treatment again two days later, and another one two days after that. I didn't see another mite after this
