I also had an issue with snake mites. I was able to get a handle on them and acted quickly to eradicate them from my snakes and the enclosure. At the time, the humidity levels in the room where high enough for the mites to thrive. Since discovery, I have been keeping the humidity levels way down, in the mid 40 to upper 30 percent. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. To date, I have not seen or noticed any mites on my snakes nor in the water bowls they soak in. I have seen comments going in both directions regarding this method of control. It works or it does nothing. From my vantage point, it seems to be working fine. My question Sir is this. How long do you think I should keep dong this? I want to be sure that even if some of the adults may survive though I have not seen any, the eggs and larvae development will be disrupted to the point that they will just die off from lack of re-generation so to speak...
