I had a minor mite break out on 2 of my ball pythons and I’ll just post what I did. Both my snakes are in a rack system on paper towels. First I treated the tubs themselves and then the paper towels with provent a mite, be sure the water cups are not in the caging at this time and let dry, I gave it about twenty minutes to dry. I then treated the snakes with front line for dogs and cats tick spray. I did this by putting on rubber gloves and spraying my hands avoiding the eyes and mouth. There are a few video’s posted about this method and it worked for me with out doing any bathing. Feel free to pm if you have any questions.
