Hey guys –
I believe the idea of the dish soap is to put a couple of drops or so into the soaking water. The soap overcomes the water tension and just makes it easier for the mites to sink and drown. Sounds like a plan! Used that way, it certainly won’t harm the snake – not like those potentially disease-carrying blood suckers you’re trying to eradicate.
Now that No Pest Strip – THAT you should think twice before using. It would be way at the bottom of my mite treatment list. Try the safer stuff first.

>>Just wait for the stuff you ordered,DO NOT soak them in soap you will dry out there skin...if your mite spary has been ordered and payed for you should have it in a few days,they will not hurt the snakes....cleaning and washing the bowls and containers will get rid of the ones not on the snake...good luck...ive had luck in the past with a cut piece of pest strip wrapped in foil with a few holes poked in foil,never hurt any snakes and was the old way to get rid of them years back
