Provent-a-mite is always good to have on hand. I've used Reptile Spray by Natural Chemistry to treat new arrivals for mites just in case (spray on a paper towel, and then wipe the snake with the paper towel). I also like to have Betadine (or a generic) and an antibiotic cream without pain relievers (the ones with pain relievers are toxic to reptiles, and cream is better than ointment).
Congrats on getting your first ball python!![]()
