New 3 week old bp has snake mites

[bcr229]

But as this is my second snake ever, I wasn't expecting to open the box and find a mite infested snake.

Funny, when I open boxes I expect to find a mite-infested snake and then am pleasantly surprised when I do not.

For treatment options you can check my post #11 here:

With a young snake I wouldn't apply the reptile spray directly. Spray a paper towel, wipe it on the baby, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it off with a paper towel damped with water.
