Mites? I have some questions.

I believe its a good preventative measure to always treat new additions whether they have mites or not. Every snake that goes through my quarantine gets treated for mites regardless.

Provent-a-mite is what I use.
Many people have used Nix lice treatment from your local pharmacy with similar success.

Ok just did some reading,says to treat the tank and let it vent out completely before putting snake in its enclosure.

when treating the tank,what do I just spray it on the bedding and the walls of the tank?

Yes. Spray lightly. Let it air dry until you cant smell it anymore. I think the instructions says wait 15 minutes before putting the animal in, but I'll air dry it for an hour to be safe.

When its in a wet or vapor form, it can be toxic to animals, which is why you don't spray the animals directly.
