I bought a Burmese python from a pet store and obviously it was infested with mites. I tried everything with no luck, then heard about Provent-A-Mite. I couldn't find it at any store, but found it online (http://www.pro-products.com/miteandtemp.html). It was the only place to get it. It worked WONDERS! My Burmese also helped by staying completely submerged in water for two weeks straight, so get your snake a HUGE water dish.
