The methods above are for the enclosure. Dawn soap baths will work well with getting the mites off the snake as well as using vegetable oil on the snake. Keep them all an white paper towels. It'll keep the mites from hiding and you'll be able to see them when they fall off. I would keep them in basic smooth plastic or disposable hides too since those are easy to clean. A flipped over bowl with a hole cut out will work well and can be bought at dollar stores.
Be sure to follow the directions VERY closely. If you use too much PAM/Nix then it can cause severe neurological issues or even death. You may want to dilute it a little more for baby snakes.
Wooden hides can be baked in the oven at 250 I think, someone else would have to chime in on that.
