Thank you all for your suggestions. I purchased her in late November and have had quite a few probs with her. Treated an RI to find out that she is completely blind in one eye. Got that under control and now mites. Poor girl. I was able to have prevent-a-mite sent overnight to me (if the airplane will allow an aerosol can - they werent sure) so it should be here today. I followed your advice and bought nix to treat her directly. I took her cage and soaked all the furniture. When prevent-a-mite comes I will clean her cage again and cook the wood hide to kill the eggs as suggested below. I searched her cage only to find that it appeared that most of the adults were on her and very few strayed to the bedding. I sure hope that means that it is less likely they have spread in the room. When the prevent-a-mite comes I will treat all the snakes cages as a precaution. Any other advice? Can they have a lasting effect? After everything yesterday it turns out she was in a shed and shed last night. When I reinspected her it seemed as though I saw a mite in her heat pit. Any suggestions here??
