Smoking is deadly (there is no way to deny this anymore ) - you have 2 large lungs to ruin your poor snake has only one very small lung (comparitively). I recommend you quit smoking for both your sakes...if not at least move the snake to another room or smoke outside.


As for the mites...unfortunately all your efforts (though good) won't get rid of them. While you might have gotten rid of the adult mites (though they can hide really really well) you will for sure have eggs that you couldn't get. The best option is to go online and buy some "PAM" (Provent-A-Mite) - it has been tested on reptiles to be extremly effective against mites both adults and eggs.
