    O and after I get rid of the mites how do i keep them away for good?
    Yes he will be fine for a few days. You can soak him in the meantime to help drown the mites that are on him.

    How to keep them away for good? PAM.

    Well I just ordered PAM from the site that annarose15 sent me. Hope it gets here quick I bet it sucks having something eat on you like a flea.

    I will even treat the bags that I use to take snakes to and from snake show's just incase they pick something up at the show. Better safe than sorry..

    Re: 911 i just found a mite in the water bowl

    Until the PAM arrives, I would soak him for 30 minutes in warm water with a drop of Dawn dish detergent. That will get the mites off of him for now. Also, remember when using PAM, spray the container and let completely dry. Once dry, you can add snake. Do not put in a water bowl for at least 2 days as water will eliminate the PAM immediately. After a couple of days you can put in water because the PAM will have had time to set in to the various surfaces of your container. Good luck!

    If you ordered it from pro products directly it will take awhile. I just had mites about 2 months ago ordered the PAM and it took 2 weeks..... They took over a week to process my order for just one can. I didnt understand that. Also, due to it being an aresol can it cannot be shipped overnight. It will be ground shipped to you. Just soak your snake or snakes till it gets to you

    I treat the snake while the cage is drying. That way I kill the ones that are bugging them and PAM will kill any eggs that got missed in cleaning and kill them after.

    Mites can and will travel through the carpet, I would just vacuum and spray some PAM around the cage too when you get it. Mites are a lot easier to get rid of than fleas.
