I've done all the cleaning, I'm just worried about those mites on his jaw (that I'm pretty sure are dead, there was a lot of soaking/spray in that area and there is no way they are that resilient). For this, it sounds great and pretty simple, but how would I hold the snake still for this? He is rather new and I've successfully fed him 3 times and he's not used to being held too much, so how do I go about getting those with the paper and holding him still?
