Everyone has their own methods of getting rid of mites.. some people use corn oil, prent-0-mite, no pests strips..etcetc.. For every 1 person that says something works.. there will be another person that will tell you its bad and give good reasons to support their statement. Heck some people use an item that is clearly marked as roach killer ... yet many swear its the best thing to use. Point im trying to make that regardless of what method you use to get rid of mites... there will always be someone to say "Yes that works" and "No you shouldnt use that"

One of my friends used corn oil on his snake to get off mites.. and he did not have the problem you face. He left the snake in a glass container for an hour or 2 soaked in corn oil.. Removed her and gave her a good washing... the next day he did this again. Nothing ever happened to the skin... she never had a bad shed even after. It just seems to me that you did not get off the oil from your snake intime for her shed...
