    Don't most sprays say once every 3 days? When I treated my big girl, I sprayed her and her tank. Changed the substrate everyday and soaked her everyday for about 10 minutes. Wait til you see the mites floating in the tub
    lots of snakes

    You didn't say what product you are using. A single application of Provent-A-Mite works for approximately 30 days.

    Don't know - never heard of it. Provent-A-Mite, IMHO is the best mite treatment out there.

    I used that stuff well over a month ago (probably closer to two months) with my baby Boa, and I havn't had a single problem since then.

    See if you can find Provent-A-Mite at your local reptile shop (Petco nor Petsmart will carry it).
