Actually, they won't ... the mites will continue to breed, lay eggs,and reappear.Originally Posted by ziggy
I agree with Marla ... Provent-a-Mite is hands down the most effective way for treating mites available. Check out http://www.mgreptiles.com/proventmite.html ... it'll be the best money you've ever spent if your snake has a mite problem.
Non sense like baths, vaseline, mineral oil, etc only provide temporary relief, but they do not kill the mites eggs ... as soon as they hatch, the mites are back. Get Provent-a-Mite!!!!
Hope this helps.
