the mites on my snakes are not nearly as bad as that, that looks horrible!
anyways, so i was handling one of them today and i saw a mite crawling on it's back so there still are some there that were hiding under their scales..can i use a half olive oil and half water solution to soak them in? i heard this suffocates the mites..i'd leave them in the containers for half hour then rinse them with water and dish soap then rinse again with water as well as clean out the containers they live in

i'm just checking cause i heard olive oil will give them scale rot?
