About the mites; The only thing you'll be able to see is adults. If there were no adults on a snake there could be newly hatched mites that would be too small to see until they grew a bit, or eggs that would need to hatch first. An excellent information source is on the VPI web site, Dave Barker goes over the whole life cycle. The general idea is to give enough time for mite eggs to hatch and be discovered - and eradicated. That can take an entire life cycle.
