worried re: mites and breeding.

[Ginevive]

I am seriously worried; a few of my snakes have exhibited having mites. I orded some PAM but it hasn't gotten here yet; thinking next week. I have been soaking them every few days in warm dishsoapy water and keeping their cages immaculate w/ my usual bleach cleaning solution, but I am afraid the treatment may inhibit beeding them this year. My females are both nice and fat, and oddly my pastel male that I plan breeding them with, has no signs at all of mties in his cage and is kept in a seperate room along with my "backup breeder" normal male who also shows none.
Any advice or info on this would be appreciated; I just hope that the stress is not going to jeapordise my girls. Neither of them are losing any waight by far; they are both as chubby as ever.

any ideas?

after you get rid of the mites, just give them a few weeks to make sure everyone is alright. after that just breed as normal. there's plenty of time left for breeding, most people don't stop until march -april.
