Just discovered a couple of mites in both of our BP enclosures. Monty was soaking in his water bowl this morning, something he has never done before. I positively identified them as mites this evening by looking at them thru binoculars bacwards...don't laugh, it works!

Any way, it doesn't look like we have alot yet. I haven't noticed any on the snakes, but have killed about 6 or 7 of the little pests. I have ordered Provent a mite, and reptile relief, should have them in a few days. I plan on thoroughly cleaning all of our snake enclosures, including the our corn snakes, (they aren't in the same room.) And then spraying enclosures with provent a mite, and the snakes with reptile relief. I will also spray provent a mite around the enclosures, and vacum the rooms too.

Is there anything else I should do?

Also, how did I get them? I didn't see any on any of the snakes when we got them. Could they have come from a wild snake? I field herp on occasion, and brought a 6' plus black ratsnake home, so my wife could see it, about 3 months ago. Could that be how they got introduced into our collection?
